The upper reaches of the river are well known for gorgeous pine trees lining the banks of the river and spectacular views of the desert cliffs that border this area and that are so famous in many different artists works, such as Georgia O\u2019Keeffe and Ansel Adams. The mellow whitewater here affords ample opportunity to take in all of the colors and beauty of the famous canyon. Red, yellow and purple color bands are painted across the desert as the river flows past towering sandstone cliffs.<\/p>\n<p>The relaxed 3-day itinerary allows us the flexibility to stop often and explore the many treasures within the high reaching walls like hot springs, ancient Indian ruins, and dinosaur tracks to name a few. We will spend two beautiful nights out under the bright New Mexican sky. The Rio Chama is known for it\u2019s nice sandy beach and grassy bench camps, most with ample shade from towering old growth Ponderosa Pines. Each night\u2019s camp will be right on the river\u2019s edge and backed up by excellent opportunities for hiking and the exploration of numerous side canyons and vistas. Sit back in one of our camp chairs and take in the sunset as the colors of the canyon walls change right before your eyes. Enjoy a cold drink as the guides pass around appetizers and prepare a gorgeous dinner and dessert. This is luxury camping in one of the most beautiful river canyons in the Southwestern United States. Don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t have your own tent, sleeping pad or sleeping bag. Just let one of our friendly staff know at the time of reservation and we\u2019ll take care of everything.<\/p>\n<h4>Our Guides for The Rio Chama 3 Day Trip<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/team\/\">Our guides are the best in the business<\/a>, focusing on safety and guest service as a top priority.
