| Gauge Reading | 540 cfs at Rio Grande-6. Taos Junction Bridge to Embudo Station Restaurant |
Beginning of a long stretch of whitewater. At moderate to high flows large standing waves make this a rollercoaster ride. At low flows the river channelizes nicely but the typical line swings from river right to river left and them returns to center leaving some tight weaving between rocks.
