The Rio Grande is a river of ancient limestone cliffs, mirrored water, and unruly rapids, combining raw canyon beauty with opportunities for spirited adventure. At the same time, it forms an undulating wetland corridor and serves as the lifeblood of the desert. Conditions vary through the year: from February to April, high temperatures range from the mid-70sF (23C) to the low-90sF (32C) and lows from the mid-30sF (2C) to the mid-50sF (12C), with cold fronts sometimes bringing freezing weather, rain, or snow; from May to August, temperatures are hot, weather can be stormy, and temperatures can rise above 100F (more than 38C); from September to January, temperatures are cooler, but weather can turn cold at any time.
