The most popular one or two day river trip offered, the Rio Grande River has carved through over 1500 feet of sheer limestone rock, creating Santa Elena Canyon. Along the way are varied rapids that continue to provide added excitement. However, after entering the canyon, Rockslide Rapid, which can be a class IV rapid with adequate water levels, looms ahead. Created many years ago as the cliff face gave way choking the river with house-size boulders.
Short hikes to an old candellia wax camp, Indian pictographs and Indian grinding stones, Camp Misery, and Fern Canyon (a side canyon with small pools of water that invite you to swim and whose rock walls get covered in ferns in the springtime) may be included in your trip if time and water levels permit.
You may see the endangered Peregrine Falcon gliding on the thermals above the high canyon walls which can add to an already amazing trip. On extended trips more time is spent exploring other special places and watching some of the brightest stars in the West Texas sky.
