Colorado Canyon is the only volcanically formed canyon on the river and it's canyon walls are draped in desert vegetation. The ride through the canyon is filled with numerous Class I & II rapids. Panther Rapid, which can be a Class III rapid, might shower you with water as you near the end of your journey. Travel along the bottom of The Big Hill and listen to the multitude of birds in the riparian area along the riverbanks.
Time allowing, you may visit an old stone corral or a hidden Tinaja (Spanish for earthen jar) filled by a cold spring. This is a fun, beautiful trip, suitable for almost anyone.
The heart of "the bend" in the name that describes the region, runs through Mariscal Canyon. A three hour drive takes you on a journey through Big Bend National Park along a dirt road known as The River Road. Colorful landscapes and majestic mountains stand for your viewing pleasure. Mariscal canyon is a limestone canyon with tall, sheer walls along the way, towering over 1800 feet above you. The Rock Pile and Tight Squeeze add to your excitement as Class III rapids. Breath-taking scenery abounds on this journey around the bend of the Big Bend. Time allowing, enjoy a visit to Mariscal Mine, Hermit's Cave and the Breaks.
Boquillas Canyon is the longest and most tranquil of Big Bend's major canyons. The Rio Grande has carved into the Sierra del Carmen mountains, creating canyon vistas rising thousands of feet from river to rim. At times, we see El Pico, a 7,000-foot limestone pedestal, looming above us.
On this leisurely multi-day float trip, you have a lot of time for nature study, star gazing, campfires, and just plain relaxing. Boquillas' few rapids are gentle class I and II. The scenery on this trip makes it a photographers paradise. With good water this trip can be done in three days but is preferred as four to five days.
