Rio Grande Gorge Full Day

Our Rio Grande Gorge Full Day trip begins with a scenic morning float and introduction to rafting. The first half of the day is beautiful float through the Orilla Verde section of the Rio Grande with incredible scenery, gorgeous riverside lunch stops and ample opportunity to work on your paddling in preparation for the exciting whitewater of the Racecourse to come in the afternoon. The Lower Gorge of the Rio Grande is a broad canyon with lush riparian habitat along the banks of the river. As we enter the "Racecourse" section the geology radically changes as we pass onto the Rio Grande fault line, one of the largest intercontinental fault lines in North America. Excellent birding and wildlife viewing potential along with ancient Rio Grande style petroglyphs (rock art) and desert freshwater springs make this a fantastic full day adventure for families, first time rafters and groups. Paddle boats, oar boats and inflatable kayaks are available.

Full Day Rio Grande Gorge trips available EVERY DAY starting in April through August and meet at NMRA headquarters at 8:30 a.m..
