A family-friendly Lower Gorge adventure for first-time rafters
About 7 hours
Rafting, riverside lunch
Enjoy a popular intermediate river outing in northern New Mexico, with the option to paddle your own inflatable kayak.
Guests will meet at 8:15am at our Far Flung Riverside location, check in, and then shuttle upstream to our launch point. Our morning is spent floating down the Rio Grande through the towering volcanic canyon, keeping an eye out for wildlife and enjoying a few class I-II rapids. At noon we’ll provide a delicious riverside lunch on the Far Flung beach at our Riverside property. In the afternoon the river will plunge into the Racecourse, our most popular whitewater half-day section. Enjoy infamous class III rapids such as Albert’s Falls, Big Rock and Sousehole! We will plan to have you back to your vehicles around 3pm.
