Rapid NM Class II

Gauging Station Rapid

Rio Grande - 06. Taos Junction Bridge to Quartzite River Access (NM)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 200.0 – 3,000.0 CFS

Description

Really a II+ rapid that is one of the two or three major rapids in this section. Typically the rapid is ran entering on the right just as the river flows toward the right bank and care is taken to maneuver down this right channel. Some rocks at the bottom of the rapid form holes at moderate flows. At very low flows more boulders stand out in the right channel and maneuvering can be very tricky.
