Flottez dans les canyons du Rio Grande

Aperçu
Descend into the many canyons of the Rio Grande by boat. Float through the spectacular scenery of the international boundary. The water level determines which canyon we float through and whether we float in canoes, kayaks, or rafts. This scenic float is great for all ages. Come explore the Chihuahuan Desert and learn about the geology, plants, and history. This is a full day trip, you will be responsible for bringing your lunch, and we have the coolers to pack your lunch in.

The boating guides were very friendly and helpful. Be aware that if the water is very low, you'll need to get out and sometimes drag your boat along for a bit, as we did. I'm in good shape for my age of 63, but if you have any sort of weakness/occasional back pain, you should know that I tried two different styles of kayaks and the positions I had to sit in for several hours paddling caused severe pain in my back, so it was hard to enjoy the experience. Where we had to stop for lunch, there were not nearly enough picnic tables for the group, so we were forced to plop down in the dirt amongst the dust and cow manure to eat our sack lunches. Lastly, we had to sit in the very back of a 15-passenger van for an hour to get to the site and then an hour back in the very warm afternoon (it was spring break). The driver had warned us that we might need to use the windows rather than the van's AC on the drive back, and that was true. However, only for a moment a couple of times were the windows cracked to let air circulate throughout the entire van. There were NO vents in the very back, and although the other passengers seemed to get some relief eventually from the AC, we were stiflingly hot and becoming ill from the stuffiness for the entire hour's drive back. I commented to the group that we could only get air when the windows were actually opened a bit, but it seemed I was ignored.

Thank you for the feedback. You visited us during spring break, the busiest week of the year, so I do understand that the picnic tables were full, as were the vans. I have been guiding for 20 years, and none of the 15 passenger vans have vents for the back row- who designed this? Maybe if you ever go on another river trip, request a canoe instead of a kayak, so it will be good for your back.
