Lots of fun for boaters with basic skills. A mellow stretch of river traversing the foothills of Contrabando mountains.
Easy access allows for variety in the length of trip.
IV Considered by some the most spectacular canyon in Big Bend. Rock Slide is the most difficult rapid in the national park. A seldom seen stretch of river twists and turns past stunning vistas and abandoned river settlements. Difficult to access but worth the effort. The canyon trip may be extended to Rio Grande Village to include San Vicente and Hot Springs Canyons.
