The Rio Grande River winds 12 miles down Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park, Texas. When the water is high you can come down the 1,500 foot walled canyon. With less water flowing, guides take you 3 to 4 miles up the canyon with some spots having to portage. But take it all in stride because the views are breathtaking. I recommend Big Bend River Tours. You might get lucky and have the guides that take you a half mile up a side canyon. An excellent day excursion in the out of the way national park.

8.6/10 Excellent! (572 reviews)
The room was lovely. My 3 star rating is because the location of the ranch is very isolated and that was not made clear in the booking. It is a 18 mile road off of the main road with the last 3 miles a dirt road. Hard to get to and when we arrived, their restaurant/cafe was closed for renovations ...
