Extra Activities in Red River

Off-Road / OHV - Off-road and deep in the mountains, your jeep is taking you to places you could never access on your own. The top and doors are off and with little between you and the wild, the ride's exhilarating. Your driver doubles as a storyteller, with riveting tales about the abandoned gold mines you pass on your way. And you think, “This four-wheel adventure is one I'll always remember.”

White Water Rafting - Tackling the rapids of the mighty Rio Grande, the refreshing, cool, clear waters splash over you and into your raft! Paddling wildly, you’re soaring through stretches like “The Rock Garden,” where the river plunges 90 feet in less than a mile.

Fishing The sun's just come up and you've cast your first line into the wild mountain stream. It's only you in your waders and the fish out here. Later, you'll take the kids to a fishing pond in town, then maybe do some prime lake fishing this evening. “How lucky I am to be in this angler's paradise,” you think, as you cast another line.

Horseback Riding From the back of your horse, you feel like a cowboy, riding in a creaky leather saddle through high mountain terrain. Breathtaking views greet you around every bend. As a professional wrangler guides you through the lush Carson National Forest, you can imagine what life was like a century ago, during Red River’s heyday as a mining town
