The Shoemaker to confluence with Canadian section of Mora River in Colfax County is 30 miles long and is a class I-V(V+) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real |
wilderness adventure. The scenic beauty of New Mexico and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile.
