We'e officially an outfitter. The Federal Government has issued Taos Raft and Kayak Rentals a commercial rafting permit on the day stretch of the Rio Chama!
We're permitted to lead guided day-trips and we're the only company permitted to rent boats on the day section. We can deliver at Chavez and pickup at Big Eddy. We're not guiding trips on the Wild and Scenic stretch just yet, but we can outfit your private trip if you happen to draw a permit (yes, we rent groovers!).

These groovers practically clean themselves!

TRKR's river eco-toilets are easy to use and involve virtually no maintence other than unscrewing the cap, putting the seat on, doing your duty, and then putting the cap back on the tank when you break camp the next day.

You don't even have to look at the thing.

Although you should, because they're magical. 7 out of 6 boaters begin communicating with birds and squirels after just a day of proper groover time.

Rent a magical groover today.
We offer multi-day rates, delivery and pickup, and a cleaning service.
