We tried the new company in town, New Mexico River Adventures, and though they are new, they are super experienced and have it down pat! From a nice new office with excellent facilities where you have orientation, to the actual raft trip with a fun, experienced and personable guide, to the tasty lunch - can't wait to go back next...

Wow! The gorge is huge. there is fishing too, one of the most strange, and beautiful place I've been. More

If you are in Taos this is worth a quick look. Its a few miles drive outside of town but the views from the bridge that spans the gorge over the Rio Grande are wonderful. There is a rest stop where one can park and walk over to the bridge. You can walk across the bridge on sidewalks so you... More
