Hi,
I am interested in taking a CANOE trip down the Rio Grande from
Rancherias Canyon to Dryden Crossing.  Has anyone done this trip?  Is it
suitable for a tripping canoe WITHOUT spraycover?  I am looking for a 7
day trip to do in the US (we are from the UK) with nice scenery, a sense
of wilderness and decent weather - the Rio Grande seems to fit the bill.

If anyone HAS paddled it, the information I want is:

1. Will there be portages, if so, how long and many.
2. What are the camping possibilities?
3. Could we hire boats/obtain a shuttle from a local outfitter?
4. Are there alot of continous waves (Canoe swamping size!!!)

Hope someone can help,

email me on

Thanks in advance, Adam
