An hour's drive north of Santa Fe brings you to a stretch of the Rio Grande which is popular for whitewater rafting. Several companies organise trips along the river, but old Cliffie can recommend the Los Rios River Runners for their laidback but totally professional approach. As you stand there in your orange lifejacket before the trip, the guide tries to scare you by telling you what to do if you are tossed into a raging torrent or get trapped under the raft. The four-hour trip down the river turns out to be not quite so scary - after all, losing a tourist or two is hardly good publicity - but a lot of fun, especially if most of your thrills in the rest of the year come while sitting in front of a computer terminal!
