History

Established in 1980.

Steve and Kathy Miller started this company with one boat and a VW Hatchback. Operating out of Santa Fe for 28 yrs. they became one of the most popular river outfitters running the Rio Grande in the high water of the 80’s and 90’s. They finally moved up to the river, close to where the river trips operate. They and their loyal staff now meet people up at the river where our guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery and many other attractions of Northern New Mexico while they are here for their river trip.

They and their staff have taken pride all these years in providing quality river trips on the Rio Grande and 3 day trips on the Rio Chama.

In the off-​season Steve and Kathy enjoy private river trips, running the Colorado through the Grand Canyon, the Salt River in Arizona and all the other rivers of the Southwest as well as fishing as much as possible.

Meet the Business Owner

Kathy M.

Business Owner

Always a tomboy, Kathy took to the outdoor life with gusto when she met her husband Steve, himself an avid kayaker, rock-​climber and hiker. She balanced child rearing with learning the outdoor life, including the kids in many adventures. The Miller’s worked for Southwest Outward Bound and when it closed, bought a boat which became the kernel of their business in 1979. They got lucky with permits on the Rio Grande and Rio Chama and became daily outfitters in the early 80’s when the river ran high every year.

She is involved in every aspect of the business, every day.
