Team-building takes on a new form as you work with your crew to crash through rapids, route each other on while rock climbing as well as learning new paddling skills in kayaks and paddleboards. Keep your eyes peeled in between the action of the rapids for Ancient Puebloan petroglyphs, freshwater springs and incredible breathtaking geological features.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 1<\/h3>\n<p>This trip begins with a scenic float through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blm.gov\/visit\/rgdnnm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument<\/a> which will allow your crew to practice paddling as a team before jumping into the action of the rapids. After a delicious riverside lunch prepared by our guides, we will paddle into our most popular stretch, the Racecourse! Don\u2019t forget to look up! The geology radically changes as we pass onto the Embudo fault line, one of the largest intercontinental fault lines in North America. After crashing through the infamous Souse Hole, we will head to our first night&#8217;s camp on the river.<\/p>\n<p>Each evening, you will enjoy sleeping under the stars of the New Mexican skies at our riverside camp within the heart of the stunning National Monument. Sit back in one of our camp chairs and take in the vibrant colors of the sunset while the guides pass around appetizers and prepare a delicious dinner and dessert. With views like these, you won\u2019t want to forget your camera. There will be ample fishing opportunities as well as hiking trails directly from camp! In the morning you\u2019ll wake up to a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate and a beautiful breakfast before heading to the river.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 2<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the time of year, water levels and average age of the Scouts, we have two options for this day&#8217;s adventure.\u00a0 one option is a multi-sport day in which we will rock climb in the morning and inflatable kayak through the Monument in the afternoon.\u00a0 The second option is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/taos-box-full-day\/\">rafting the Taos Box<\/a> section of the Rio Grande.\u00a0 Both options can be discussed at the time of booking in consideration of your particular trip dates river conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 3<\/h3>\n<p>This morning, after breakfast, we will enjoy a yet another new adventure, stand-up paddleboarding, amongst some of the most incredible views of the canyon! Be sure to keep a lookout in the water for river otters, the cliffs for bighorn sheep, and the sky for golden eagles! We will finish just before lunch (not included). Once off the river, we will make our way back to our Headquarters where your vehicles will be waiting for you. You will have an opportunity to take a look at your photos from the past couple of days and grab some NMRA merch to commemorate your adventure!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Our Guides For The Rio Grande Multi-Sport 3 Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/team\/\">Our guides<\/a> are the best in the business, focusing on safety and guest service as a top priority.
