What to Expect

A combination of hiking, horse packing, whitewater and river wilderness makes this one of the best day trips in the United States!

The Middle Box offers a combination of hiking, horse packing, whitewater and river wilderness that make it one of the best day trips in the United States! It is a scenic Class II-III section of river visited by far fewer people every summer than the popular Taos Box and Lower Gorge. A one-mile hike will take us from the rim of the gorge and into the heart of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Guests can expect very high chances of wildlife sightings, a fantastic archeological site, a beautiful hike, and the solitude of a hard to access wilderness area. Often considered the gem of the Taos area, this secluded segment of the Rio Grande National Monument is one of our all-time favorites. The beautiful hike into the gorge is a great way to start off the day and offers sweeping high desert views on the rim and incredible canyon vistas on the way down.
