Rio Chama Itinerary

MEETING TIME AND PLACE:

We meet at 9:00 AM at Bode’s General Store. You’ll find Bode’s General Store located in Abiquiu, NM, 24 miles northwest of Espanola on Highway 84 at mile marker 212.

DAY ONE:

Sit back and view the vistas of the craggy peaks of the San Juan Mountains, the massive Brazos Cliffs, over 3,000 vertical feet high, and the village of Tierra Amarilla, during the hour and a half drive to our launch site.  Departing from El Vado Ranch, a rustic, riverside fishing resort, the Rio Chama immediately whisks us away through a series of swift riffles and into the evergreen lined canyon.  We enter the Chama Canyon Wilderness and negotiate Aragon Rapids (class II).  Camp is on an old high water bench, under shelter of ponderosa pines and Douglas firs.

DAY Two:

Enjoy a leisurely morning while your camp chef prepares for you a gourmet breakfast.  Possible side hikes today may include a hike up any of the numerous side canyons or to the top of Navajo Peak to enjoy the spectacular vista.  Arrive at camp early for more relaxation or perhaps some birding.

DAY Three:

You will encounter some longer, steeper rapids among the multi-hued sandstone cliffs rising up to 1,000 feet high.  Emerging from the wilderness area, we observe a quiet zone as we pass the Christ in the Desert Monastery.  Now begins the lively whitewater run (Class II-III) into the headwater of Abiquiu Reservoir.  Our mid-afternoon takeout enables us to return you to your vehicles before evening.
