Jewelle's house in Albuquerque is about 3 hours away from Taos. So, we will get up early in the morning and drive to Taos to be there in time for our guided white water rafting trip in "The Box." It will be a day full off intense (but not perilously intense) rapids, beautiful scenery, and invigorating splashes. Halfway through the day, we will get to have a picnic by the water, provided by the guide company, and then we will finish out our rafting excursion around 5pm. We will check into our hotel room in the Historic Taos Inn, get showered and dressed, and walk around the town in the evening, shopping, and enjoying a hard-earned and delicious meal at El Meze, which supposedly has great steak and seafood . The next day, we will drive to Red River, because this is where I spent a week of every year of my on the ski slopes. It is a great little town to explore and shop in. We will spend the rest of the day exploring sites around Taos, have another nice meal at a restaurant called The Stake Out, which boasts a sunset view and excellent food. We will head back to our rooms early to get lots of sleep before our long drive to Colorado the next day.
I really enjoyed this blog post! I think it's a fun idea to go white river rafting and it will add an extra special memory for all of you to have! What a great idea! I think it's awesome that you are so adventurous and brave to do something like this!

I've been skiing in Taos and it is a really beautiful place! Sometimes they turn ski resorts into summer resorts during warmer weather. That might be something fun for you and your friends to check out also!
