In New Mexico, a river is life, and nowhere is that more obvious than on the Rio Grande. One of the most iconic rivers in the country, its Racecourse section is a classic rafting trip with large volumes of water that create epic waves and rapids. If you’re looking for the adrenaline rush of whitewater rafting but don’t have all day to make it happen, this half-day river run is perfect.
Meet up with your expert guide, who will get you outfitted for your journey and be with you at every surf and eddy to show you the best routes through the rapids. You’ll cover Class II – III whitewater, ranging from mild to wild. Tackle rapids with names like The Maze, Eye of the Needle, Big Rock, and the infamous Souse Hole. And keep your eyes peeled for local river wildlife like beavers, muskrats, deer, bullfrogs, and maybe even a river otter – if you’re lucky.
The Racecourse may be a half-day trip, but it’s packed with full-time fun. Get a taste for the Rio Grande on this heart-pounding whitewater rafting adventure!
