Guests will meet at 8:15am or 12:15pm at our Far Flung Riverside location. Several Class II rapids occur throughout the outing, in between calm stretches perfect for floating and swimming. We will float through the village of Pilar, New Mexico where we will observe a quiet zone to minimize the impact of our passage through this historic, small New Mexico community.
