Join Zack for a Rio Grande floating adventure. We will start at 8am on Saturday July 27 at the Red Dot trailhead, hike down to the river, continue up the river trail to the bottom of the Blue Dot. There, we will stop and enjoy lunch and inflate our floating toys/mattresses/water wings. We will then float back down to the Red Dot, wash off in the clean springs, and hike back to our cars. It's about 4 miles, plus the up and down elevation gain of the Red Dot trail.
