Taos Box, June 8, 2019. Jarod Bottinelli took this great video, on his June 4 trip. Thanks Jarod! Water level is up around 3800 cfs and rising, as summer temps begin to arrive (high of 84 degrees today). Based on the remaining snowpack, this and higher levels should persist well into July. The Box is the centerpiece of the wild Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
About the Taos Box
Trip Meets At:
Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center at 10:00 AM, and returns at approx. 4:00 PM (see map)
This full-day river trip traverses 16 miles of wilderness gorge, encountering demanding rapids guaranteed to get you wet. This is our most exciting whitewater river trip and is NOT for the timid. Participants must be mentally and physically prepared to paddle in earnest and assist in their own rescue in the event of a “swim” or flip (Class 4/Difficult, Class 5/Very Difficult, in high water). The Box season begins in April, with the highest flows usually occurring around early June. Minimum age is 12.

What compares to a river? Hardly anything, and that’s why we raft. The rapids, the calm stretches, the wildlife, the riverside groves and flowers – it’s all there, waiting for you and your family.
