This full-day trip traverses 16 miles of wilderness gorge, encountering demanding rapids guaranteed to get you wet. This is our most exciting trip and is NOT for the timid. Participants must be mentally and physically prepared to paddle in earnest and assist in their own rescue in the event of a "swim" or flip (Class 4/Difficult, Class 5/Very Difficult, in high water). Minimum age is 12. We provide buffet style lunch, wet suits, wet suit booties, rain gear, gloves in cool weather, rain gear in hot weather and all necessary rafting equipment. If you intend to wear a wet suit, dress in form-fitting undergarments (bathing suit, tights, cycling shorts etc.) so that you can pull on your wetsuit without difficulty. Bring a change of clothes with you. This trip meets at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center at 10:00 AM, and returns there at approximately 4:00 PM.

We provide wetsuits, except in the hottest weather, and we always provide raingear, along with wet suit booties if you come without appropriate footwear. Flipflops are not appropriate footwear and going barefoot is not allowed. Sneakers and teva-style sandals are fine. Helmets are provided and must be worn. Form-fitting synthetics are best under a wetsuit, and bring a change for the end of the trip, which will be left in our vehicle. Also: sunscreen, glasses strap and a tip for the guide.
