Our 2 pm start time allows us the opportunity to experience a sunset, the famous early evening light and a star-strewn night (depending on weather of course), that are often featured in the art and literature portraying the southwest. This unspoiled and picturesque portion of the river provides a truly unique southwest experience that follows in the footsteps of generations of explorers and artists.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening we will settle into our riverside camp where we prepare a meal for you that can\u2019t help but impress your taste buds. While we set up and prepare the meal there are a variety of hiking, wildlife viewing and photography opportunities. After our evening meal we usually gather around the campfire and talk about the day, the following days float, and tell stories. All are extremely knowledgeable about the area\u2019s geology, ecology and history and just love being on the river.<\/p>\n<p>Day 2 begins with a hearty breakfast to fill you up for the class III rapids on the popular Racecourse section of the river. Mid way through the day we will stop for lunch, near a great swimming spot, before finishing our adventure and returning to our headquarters in the early afternoon. During this trip we\u2019ll pass through The Maze, Eye of the Needle, Big Rock and the infamous Souse Hole.<\/p>\n<h4>Our Guides for the 24 Hours On The Rio Grande Rafting Trip<\/h4>\n<p>Our guides are the best in the business, focusing on safety and guest service as a top priority.
