This five-mile section known as the Racecourse is our most popular half-day trip on the Rio Grande. Ranging from a wild class III-IV ride during the spring high-water to a more technical and demanding class III run as the water goes down and the rocks come up in summer.

If you’re looking for a relaxing trip through a beautiful Rio Grande canyon with a few mild class II rapids, the half-day Rio Grande Float is perfect for you. If you are not sure about the whole whitewater craze and want a mellow introduction to floating down the river.

The “Taos Box,” is the premier one-day wilderness trip on the Rio Grande, and contains the most advanced class IV whitewater in New Mexico. This 17-mile trip starts just northwest of Taos.
