SEASON:  April 1 - September 30 The biggest whitewater rafting conditions generally occur in May and June.

COST: $96 per person, ($87 for kids 11 and under) with a 50% advance deposit required.  Group discounts are available. Visit our Reservations page to book your rafting trip.

SAMPLE ITINERARY:  We begin within the Rio Grande Gorge not far from Taos, New Mexico (see meeting place below).  The ancient lava flow through which we float is scenic and accessible.  We spend the morning rafting down the Rio Grande near the Orilla Verde Recreation Area, with beautiful scenery and just a couple of mellow rapids. This trip’s midpoint is the village of Pilar, New Mexico 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 Rio Grande Racecourse, a section of intense whitewater, with rapids named:  Albert’s Falls, Herringbone, Narrows, Big Rock, and Sousehole.

OUR MEETING PLACE:  Pilar Yacht Club and Cafe, located 16 miles south of Taos, New Mexico, on State Highway 68 (mile marker 28), at 8:30 am.
