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 and a beautiful breakfast before heading to the river.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 2<\/h3>\n<p>Day two will bring an expedition-style adventure! Depending on the time of year, we will enjoy inflatable kayaking the remote and seldom explored section of the Middle Taos Box where the wildlife sightings are endless, or the action of New Mexico\u2019s premier class IV stretch, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/taos-box-full-day\/\">Taos Box rafting<\/a> section. Regardless, this day will provide you with one of the single best river adventures in the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 3<\/h3>\n<p>Our final day is the perfect mix of river and rock. We will start at Dead Cholla Wall in the heart of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/history-of-the-rio-grande-gorge\/\">Rio Grande Gorge<\/a>. The Dead Cholla Wall is an established <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/5-places-for-rock-climbing-new-mexico\/\">New Mexico rock climbing<\/a> area featuring over two dozen climbing routes for all skill levels. Whether you&#8217;re a first-time or experienced climber, your professional guides will provide you with all the tools to ensure a safe, challenging, and memorable experience. After a riverside lunch, it\u2019s time to cool off! This afternoon we will enjoy a combination of stand-up paddleboarding and inflatable kayaking 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 bald eagles! 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.
