Bode’s General Store, in Abiquiu, at 9 AM (See Map)

A very scenic full-day trip through the canyon of the lower Rio Chama, from the Christ of the Desert Monastery to the Big Eddy take-out, with Class 2 to 3- (easy to moderate) whitewater. This is the area of New Mexico made famous in the paintings of Georgia O’Keefe, characterized by multi-colored sandstone cliffs and cottonwood groves along the river. Minimum of 4 required. Funyaks are available on this trip. Just ask!

PRICE: Adults – $135.00, Children 5 to 11 years of age – $98.00

We Provide:

A Buffet-style lunch, life jacket, rain gear and paddle. We also provide funyaks at no extra cost in low water conditions (for those in good physical condition). Just ask.

You Provide:

Appropriate footwear for yourself (running shoes or sport sandals with extra strap or water shoes or dive booties), a change of clothes and drinking water.

Note: The Chama is a dam-release river, with great variability in the amount of water being released from day to day. Thus, the duration of the trip varies accordingly. This trip is only available on Saturday or Sunday.
