The 12th Annual Rubber Ducky Float Trip

COVID-19 Information:  we will comply with the Governor's orders on physical distancing.   We will have three co-leaders, each leading a group of 1+4=5.   Everyone should have masks, and everyone will always be 6 feet apart.  We'll limit the total trip to 15 people, so please email Zack to sign up. 

Join Zack for a Rio Grande floating adventure. We will start at 8am on Saturday July 11 at the Red Dot trailhead, hike down to the river, continue up the river trail to the bottom of the Blue Dot. There, we will stop and enjoy lunch-- in a separated way -- and inflate our floating toys/mattresses/water wings. We will then float back down to the Red Dot, wash off in the clean springs, and hike back to our cars.  It's about 4 miles, plus the up and down elevation gain of the Red Dot trail.

There are no rapids in this section of the river. The $3 vinyl inner tube toys at Smiths are suitable for this trip, potentially with a life vest or wetsuit if desired.  You should be comfortable with long, hot, hikes, comfortable with heights, and comfortable swimming.  

Please email Zack if you would like to sign up, or call 505-412-5961 for more information.
