BETA on upper rio grande and rio chama?
Hey all, I'm thinking about taking a trip south to run some of the rivers in the san luis valley and northern NM.
Have any of you run the chama canyon from the chavez canyon put-in to the big eddy takeout? According to the CRC it's a class 2/3 section, but there;s not a whole lot of detail on it. How long did this section take you? (the last 9 miles of the canyon). is there a lot of flatwater? any excitement on the river? no permit is required on this section, am I correct?
What about the upper rio grande from river hill campground to the TR186 trailhead? according to CRC this is a 6.3 mile section, class 3. Anyone have any details? it sounds like fun! what's it like at 2000 cfs? (may be lower when we get there at the end of the month) Also, what's the deal with the "private takeout" mentioned in the CRC? any problems?
Any beta would be great!
