Class III-IV Rio Grande, TX

The Rio Grande provides a variety of recreational opportunities that allow visitors to experience a spectacular river corridor as it carves its way through the Chihuahuan Desert. Colorful, expansive landscapes give way to vault-like canyons that carry travelers through time and space, providing world-class year-around boating, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, photography, and natural springs. Visitors can enjoy and experience rare desert flora and fauna, solitude, natural sounds, and amazing night skies in a remote and dramatic landscape that is largely wild and undeveloped.

Alternate put-in 10 mi downstream at Maravillas. This five to ten day trip offers a true wilderness experience. The terrain along the Lower Canyons is open desert, rugged hills, and deep canyons. The rapids are Class II-IV.
