The RiverMaps Guide to the Rio Chama is the go-to, mile-by-mile guide for floating the Rio Chama. Flowing through Wild and Sceniccanyons in northwestern New Mexico, the Rio Chama is forgiving enough for the less experienced but challenging enough to keep the experienced boater’s attention. This guidebook covers 31 river miles from the put-in at Cooper’s El Vado Ranch to the Big Eddy takeout.
