Back to the Box Posted On: May 13, 2016 By: Steve Miller Filed Under: River trips Tagged In: Bighorn sheep, Rio Grande del Norte National Monument We’re going again to the Taos Box, and are thrilled to have good flows for our run. We have 7 guests there today (along with some Box guide trainees). They will enjoy 80 degree temperatures, bighorn sheep sightings and maybe even see the otters, or golden eagles, or migrating western tanagers … or who knows what? Golden eagle, by Britt Runyon The Taos Box run is 16 miles of wilderness gorge, positioned in the heart of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This Monument sets aside the land and riverscape of the Rio Grande Gorge of northern New Mexico. We also have a boatload of guide trainees on the Racecourse run. Summer and whitewater action is here!!
