There will be a stop here to purchase cokes and snacks or to use your last “flush” toilet for the day. We can also meet you at Stillwells Store if you are staying at the Gage Hotel in Marathon or camping in Big Bend National Park. You will be returned to your vehicle at the end of your trip.
The Wild and Scenic section of the river that starts your adventure begins at the river at the Heath Canyon Ranch put in, across the river from the old abandoned Mexican village of La Linda where Dupont once mined fluorspar. This is also the site of the controversial bridge that spans the Rio Grande but is blocked to all traffic. Years ago La Linda was home to many miners and their families, but now the white buildings and the small chapel sit silent and empty and the bridge crossing the river is up for demolition.
Boarding your canoe or raft you find yourself afloat on gentle waters that take you round the bend and out of sight of all civilization. Several small canyons including Heath, Horse Canyon, Temple and Maravillas Canyon are included in this adventure. Sightings of Peregrine Falcons, Golden Eagles, Zone-tailed Hawks, White-throated Swifts, Hutton’s Vireos and Pyrrhuloxia may punctuate the day along with the scenic splendor of the canyon walls.
Eleven miles downstream we come to the takeout point at Camp 6 in the Black Gap Wildlife Management area where we will load up and head back to our office in Terlingua in time for you to enjoy the Big Bend night life at the local watering holes.
For those on a two day trip, your trip pace will be more leisurely, allowing for time to hike, view pictographs or for exploration of the many side canyons. We provide tents, water and food from lunch the first day to lunch the last day on all overnight and multi-day trips.
