vacations and adventures in the
back country. The eight-day trip
down the canyons of the Rio
Grande through Texas and Mex-
ico includes 90 miles of Class II-
III rapids, an ideal training ground
for those wanting to learn the art
of rowing and paddling. Camp-
sites, side hikes to abandoned
homesteads and exploring the hot
springs are all part of the adven-
ture.
In addition, there are three-,
five-, six-, eight- and 12-day raft-
ing trips in the Grand Canyon.
Rafting down the big waters are
trips through Hell's Canyon on the
Snake River in Idaho and Oregon
and a two-day adventure down a
22-mile stretch of the Piedra Riv-
er in Colorado, which attacks
Class IV and V rapids. Some of
these trips are recommended for
experienced boaters only. In ad-

a four-day trip down the Rogue
River for youth ages 6 to 16. The
38-mile journey has many short
Class III white-water rapids to en-
joy.
Families also can enjoy three-
and four-day trips down the fast-
