This move also comes at a time when escalating gas costs and related transportation expenses have become prohibitive. We will be meeting our Rio Grande Gorge, Float and Racecourse guests at the Taos/Rio Arriba County Line, and our Box guests at the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center, in Pilar. And, you are, of course, welcome to stop by our office for a visit, on your way to or from your river trip. We sincerely hope that our loyal clientele will understand the reasons for this change and continue to choose New Wave as their river outfitter.
Note: When passing through Espanola, from the south, make no turns, but continue on the "main drag" straight north through town. As you exit the north side of Espanola you will now be on Rt 68, and will see the large Ohkay Casino, to the right. Continue north on Hwy 68 to your meeting place.

Meeting Places: From the north (Taos) The Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center, in Pilar, seen coming from the north, on Hwy. 68. We meet our Taos Box customers here, at 10 AM. Give yourself a half-hour for the drive from Taos.
If you're doing any other Rio Grande trip with New Wave you need to continue another 5+ miles further south (downstream) to the County Line meeting place, seen to the right. We meet our Racecourse, Rio Grande Gorge and Float customers here. The Racecourse meets at 9 AM and 1 PM. The Rio Grande Gorge and Float meet at 10:30 AM. |

These signs (and others) announce your arrival at the County Line meeting place, at Mile 24, coming from the south on Hwy.68. Pull in to the dirt parking lot, on the left (river side). Don't park in the lower parking lot.
If you are coming from the south to meet a Box trip, continue another 5+ miles beyond the County Line (upstream), to the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center, at Pilar |
