We often look out under the stars and ask the question explorers have asked since the beginning of time:

"Are there other rivers out there?" 🤔

If you're at home with some extra time, follow our friends at Light Benders Visuals for amazing photos like this and the know-how to take them.

Backyard astrophotography is in full swing! I could do this every night...😄

Venice canals clearer after coronavirus lockdown

If there's a silver lining in the Coronavirus lockdowns worldwide, it's been the cleansing of rivers and skies in all corners of the world. Who knows what the future will bring, but we are advocates for stronger interpersonal connections, resource protection and environmental sustainability, and a healthy balance of work and play. 💓 #AllForward

According to the Corgimeter, We have between 6" and 12" of fresh snow across Santa Fe. Lots more in the high country and southern Colorado. Among other things, we have so much to be thankful for today.

The sun is out, the breeze is cool and the water is PERFECT.

Although you can check out more scenes from our full day #ChamaRiver trip here, it's much better to experience live and direct, in person.

The name "Chama" is a shortened version of the Tewa term [tsąmą' ǫŋwįkeyi], meaning "wrestling pueblo-ruin".

The Rio Chama originates in south-central Colorado, just above the New Mexico border in the San Juan Mountains and Rio Grande National Forest. The main stem Rio Chama begins at the confluence of two short headwater tributaries called West Fork and East Fork.

The Rio Chama, a major tributary river of the Rio Grande, is located in the U.S. states of Colorado and New Mexico. The river is about 130 miles (210 km) long altogether.

Kokopelli guide Wren Freeman, who has a degree in culinary arts, has totally mastered a move we invented called 'flipping the eggs'. When you hit the wave juuuuust riiiiight, everyone is airborne for just a moment! You know you've done it right when everyone lands back in the raft #sunnysideup 🙂🙃🙂💓 #raftguidegames #evilgenius Sometimes we wonder if he'd rather be in the kitchen or on the river...

Flipping the eggs and riding the bull are just a few fun games we play at Kokopelli Rafting Adventures. For this fun and more, check us out at www.KokopelliRaft.com

In {kayak} slalom racing, there's a move called a "pivot turn" - basically sinking the stern and using the energy created by the kayak's own buoyancy to shoot you out and accelerate out of the turn. In this series of photos, Kokopelli guide Logan Fair demonstrates how to sink the stern of his raft and let the energy accelerate him out of the hole.. 🙃

If you've read this far, we're totally bluffing; rafts aren't that efficient. But they're more stable and super fun! Wanna see how much fun? Come join us at www.Kokopelliraft.com and we'll show ya!

Someone asked if we had a photo of this guy NOT smiling; so we checked. Nope. Not a single photo.

And that's what rafting with Kokopelli is all about. Infectious smiles, from the inside out. An authentic love for the river and sharing it with others makes us smile ear-to-ear every day!

Thanks Mirek Vanis for representing Kokopelli Rafting Adventures in 2018 & 2019!

Q: Your guide says "GET DOWN!" and you immediately
A1: Bust a move
A2: Jump overboard and swim for cover
A3: Shift your weight to the bottom of the raft like a highly trained professional and hold on for dear life
A4: kneel and pray.
