SAMPLE ITINERARY:  We begin within the Rio Grande Gorge.  The ancient lava flow through which we float is scenic and accessible.  We spend the morning floating through the Orilla Verde Recreation Area, with beautiful scenery and just a couple of mellow rapids This trip’s midpoint is the village of Pilar where we will observe a quiet zone to minimize the impact of our passage through this historic, small New Mexican community.  Below the village, we enter the section called the Racecourse, a section of intense whitewater, with rapids named:  Albert’s Falls, Herringbone, Narrows, Big Rock, and Sousehole.
