New Mexico River Adventures is very proud to be the only outfitter in New Mexico to offer trips through the extremely remote, difficult and pristine Razorblades section of the Rio Grande. The "Blades" is a Class IV section for those who have seen the Taos Box section and want to try something different. This trip involves a steep hike into and out of the upper gorge. All guests will go through some serious raft handling and safety instruction involving; how to paddle, dry land command training, high siding and low siding techniques, swimming in big whitewater, swimming under the boat, getting yourself back into the boat, and self rescue. This trip definitely adds a new interactive twist to your normal class IV whitewater rafting trip. Anyone not meeting the head guides expectations will not be allowed to participate and will forfeit deposit. Paddle boats and Paddle Assist oar boats (guides decision)
Minimum age for Razorblades is 16 parents or guardian must be present.
