Orilla Verde Recreation Area
Releasing the Native Field Day, Pilar, New Mexico 2016
Students from Zia, Monte Vista, and Emerson elementary who successfully completed the Native Fish in the Classroom (NFIC) Program administered by the New Mexico Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (NMFWCO), released the fish they raised into the Rio Grande at the Orilla Verde Recreation Area overseen by the Taos Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management. The event was also supported by Christy Wall, Ph.D., of the New Mexico Wildlife Center in Espanola, New Mexico, Yancy Ranspot of the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, Tristan Austring and Weston Furr Fisheries Biologists from the NMFWCO, and Anders Lundhal, a parent and hydrologist who stepped up to run the hydrology station. The project was sponsored in part by the Albert I. Pierce Foundation. Thank you to Angela James, Fisheries Biologist and NFIC Program Administrator. Huge Thank you to New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Seven Springs Hatchery for providing the Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout fingerlings for the students to raise in the classroom.
Rio Grande Gorge Whitewater Rafting at Pilar, New Mexico
March through June are typically high water months. The Race Course flows all summer long with the waves becoming technical maneuvers, around boulders, over drops and through tight squeezes.
It's great family fun on a hot summer day rafting the cool waters of the Rio Grande.
This Rio Grande rafting trip traverses the calm oxbows of the Orilla Verde National Recreation Area. The open canyon allows scenic views of towering basalt cliffs, high desert ecosystems, a lush riverside habitat, Class II rapids, and swimming.
Several Class II rapids occur throughout the outing, in between calm stretches perfect for swimming. Float through the village of Pilar, New Mexico where you will observe a quiet zone to minimize the impact of the passage through this historic, small New Mexico community.
Meet at Pilar Cafe, located 16 miles south of Taos, New Mexico, on State Highway 68-mile marker 28), at 8:15 A.M. or 12:15 P.M.
The Orilla Verde Recreation Area is located within the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument and along the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. Nestled along the banks of the Rio Grande and within the steep-walled Rio Grande Gorge, the campgrounds in this area offer nearby access to the river. The elevation along the river is 6,100 feet and the steep canyon rises 800 feet from the river to the Gorge rim.
Gentle waters with occasional small rapids flow through Orilla Verde, providing an ideal setting for many recreational activities. Because of the dramatic changes in elevation and the diversity of plant life, Orilla Verde draws many species of animals, including raptors (such as eagles and hawks), songbirds, waterfowl, beaver, cougar, ringtail, mule deer, and more. The Rio Grande also has attracted humans since prehistoric times. Evidence of ancient peoples is found throughout the Recreation Area in the form of petroglyphs on the rocks and many other types of archaeological sites.
The canyon ecosystem descends 800 feet from rim to river, creating a unique diversity in plant and animal life. Ancient piсon and juniper forests include 500 year-old trees. Watchable wildlife opportunities include mule deer, red-tailed hawk, mountain blue-bird, and prairie dog. The climate is semi-arid with summer thunderstorms common in July and August, and snow possible from November through March. Summer temperatures range from 45 to 90F and in winter from -15 to 45F.

Taos - Rio Grande - Orilla Verde section with a trash bag skirt (720)
Looking at the Rio Grande all week was too tempting to pass up. I didn't own a skirt for my little sit-in, couldn't find one to buy in town, and didn't have time after work to do a guided trip. So, I hacked together a trash bag skirt and pressed my luck. This is the Orilla Verde section - put in at Taos Junction Bridge (bottom of Taos Box - and take out at Quartzite (top of The Racecourse - 8 miles, it took 1h20m. Flow rate was 1,070 cfs (

The Rio Grande is among the longest twenty-five rivers in the world and the fourth or fifth longest in North America. It starts near the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains, runs 470 miles through New Mexico to the border of Texas and the Mexican province of Chihuahua, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. For about 1,250 miles it forms the international boundary between the two countries. The river is between 1,800 and 1,900 miles long overall, depending on how its course changes from year to year.
(ref):
The Rio Grande flows out of the snowcapped Rocky Mountains in Colorado and journeys 1,900 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. It passes through 800-foot chasms of the Rio Grande Gorge, a wild and remote area of northern New Mexico. The canyon provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities, luring fishermen, hikers, artists, and whitewater boating enthusiasts. In 1968, the Rio Grande and Red River were among the first eight rivers Congress designated into the National Wild and Scenic River System to protect outstanding resources values.
The Wild and Scenic River flows through the Rio Grande Gorge Recreation Area. This includes the Wild Rivers on the north and the Orilla Verde areas in the south.
A spectacular vista of the Upper Gorge is from the High Bridge Overlook. The Lower Gorge Area of Critical Environmental Concern covers over 16,000 acres of public land along a 14-mile-long stretch of the Rio Grande from the village of Pilar to the Velarde Diversion Dam.

Driving into Rio Grande Gorge - John Dunn Bridge
This is the drive from the Taos Plateau west of the Rio Grande in the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument down to the John Dunn Bridge, which crosses the Rio Grande near Taos, NM. There are a series of sharp cutbacks down into the gorge and a 4 x 4 vehicle is probably required.
The John Dunn bridge area is a popular recreational area for fly fishers and families because there are swimming pools off the river with relatively still water. A 1/4 mile hike down the river are 2 gorgeous hot springs.
