We Run the River from March through November!
In the Spring the Rio Grande is full of melted snow.
March through June are typically high water months. The Race Course flows all summer long with the waves becoming technical maneuvers, around boulders, over drops and through tight squeezes.
It's great family fun on a hot summer day rafting the cool waters of the Rio Grande.
Just twenty minutes south of Taos your adventure begins!
