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.

Amazing! From the moment we left the outfitter, Erin told about the area, plants, animals, herbal remedies, Sotol.(like tequila. On the river we paddled up stream. She was very attentive and helpful. Beautiful canyons. After lunch the trip downstream was mostly a float. The ride home was the Big Bend areas history, settlement, tribes and mining. Erin was outstanding. I'd almost say this is a "do first" because she covered so much.

We have kayaks of our own but we still look for opportunities to go kayaking whenever we travel (Colorado River below the Hoover Dam, Seward Alaska, etc.). These trips always give us a different perspective of where we are and this was no exception. Kayaking the Santa Elena Canyon was incredible! It's one thing to stick your feet in the water or to look up at the rock walls from the river's edge . . . it's another to float in the water and see both sides of the canyon rising straight up to beautiful blue skies. This was our first boomerang trip and paddling upstream was not difficult at all. There were a couple spots where the water was low and we had to walk our kayaks but it wasn't that bad. The water is cold and it gets chilly floating in the shadows, so wear lots of layers and move your feet slowly in the water, to avoid splashing water into the boots they provide. The folks walking the trails beside the river wearing shorts and t-shirts gave us some strange looks as we floated out of the canyon, wearing our winter caps, sweatshirts and coats - but that's okay. We were comfortable. Erica was our guide and provided us with the history of the area and an explanation of the rock layers and formations we saw. Her passion and love for what she does and where she lives is evident. (Hopefully we'll catch up with her in the Smoky Mountains some day.) There is a lot to see in Big Bend National Park and there is no better way to see the Rio Grande than by kayak. We would absolutely recommend this for anyone exploring Big Bend.
