    Wonderful Rafting!
    Review of: Racecourse half day class 3 most popular in New Mexico

    I have been on numerous rafting trips through Colorado and New Mexico, and this company was definitely the best. Guide was very fun and knowledgeable and had safety tips not even covered with other rafting companies. We will be using this company again!
