Rafting down the Rio Grande

On our last Sunday in New Mexico, my parents took me, Aaron, my brother, and his girlfriend rafting in the Rio Grande. It was SO much fun! As a family, we had gone rafting through the Taos Box a few years back, but this time, we went through the Racecourse. The company we went with was Big River Raft Trips, and we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was hilarious, extremely competent, and knowledgeable about the area. He even let us float down the river outside of the raft at a few points! I would highly recommend either a half day or full day rafting trip if you are ever in New Mexico. After our trip, we had a quick picnic, then Aaron, Ethan, and Megan all jumped off this bridge into the river. Because they are ridiculous. The drive home was beautiful. Northern New Mexico is one of the most picturesque places in the world.
