is closed to put-in, or if the BLM is simply trying to discourage it. Be sure to look into this, it
will add an extra day to the trip. Edit
are several fun little class II rapids between there and the bottom of the red dot trail. After red
dot, there are four class III's. The first two are one after another. Stay right for the second.
Almost all the current in the third rapid goes over a big rock, we have had problems there before
and haven't found a good way around it, it all depends on water levels. After the last rapid, which
is pretty close to Ancho Canyon, it is really flat water all the way to Cochiti Lake and it seems
to go on forever until you hit the lake and have to paddle a couple miles. I would recommend hiking
out at the Bandelier falls trail. Overall, it is a very fun trip, lots of beautiful scenery and
very remote, you probably won't see anyone on the river.
