Lower Gorge
Our morning is spent rafting down the Rio Grande through the volcanic canyon, with just a couple of easy rapids. The river mellows as we pass through Pilar, where we will observe a quiet zone to minimize our impact on this small historic New Mexican community. At noon we’ll provide a delicious riverside lunch, including an array of hand-roasted sandwich meats and homemade salads and salsas

Sunset Dinner Float
Over the last 40 years of doing multi-day river trips Far Flung Adventures has perfected the well-prepared and delicious outdoor-meal. Begin with a gorgeous pre-dinner float along the Orilla Verde section of the Rio Grande. Then come watch the high desert sunset from a comfy camp chair by a crackling fire, and take in the serenity of rural New Mexico from the river’s edge; and leave the cooking and dishes to us! This is the perfect way to enjoy many of the best parts of overnight rafting, but still get to sleep in your comfy bed that night!
