Footwear – The most common injuries during river activities are foot injuries, so protect your feet with secure footwear. Sharp rocks and occasional broken glass are potential hazards both along the riverbanks and the riverbed itself. As there's plenty of mud along the Rio Grande's riverbanks, choose footwear that can be thoroughly cleaned or hosed off following your trip. Water shoes, strap-on river sandals or old sneakers are all good choices. Bare feet and flip-flops are not acceptable.

Clothing - Avoid cotton, especially early and late in the season! Layer clothing, using quick-drying synthetics such as polyester, lycra, nylon, neoprene or wool. All of these materials dry fairly quickly and most importantly, continue to provide insulation when wet.

Sun Protection – sunglasses are encouraged and sunscreen is very important. We will provide sunscreen if needed.
