Santa Elena Canyon

With its sheer walled limestone canyon created by faulting and carved by water and wind, the Santa Elena Canyon (20 miles) is one of the most written about and photographed canyons in Big Bend National Park. Fully explored by Captain Robert Hill in 1899, this canyon is a favorite of modern day explorers.

Mariscal Canyon

Big Bend's most remote canyon begins its ten-mile journey at Talley and ends at Solis in the far southern reaches of the park. This is true wilderness as access to this canyon can be limited by weather and road conditions. Add this to your list of must see canyons in the Big Bend.

Boquillas Canyon

At 33 miles, Boquillas Canyon is the longest and most extensive river canyon in the Big Bend. Near Mexico's Sierra del Carmen mountain range the vertical relief from river level to mountain-top is over 7000 feet! This is a nice easy float trip by canoe (perfect for beginners) that can be done in three of four days depending on water flows. Great side hikes!

Rafts

We use commercial grade Hypalon rafts equipped with a metal frame and oarlocks. Our guides are stationed in the middle of the raft and, with two long oars, navigate the boat downstream. Guests ride in the front and rear compartments of the raft and
are generally not involved in the steering or maneuvering of the boat. This option is very popular for folks wanting to just relax and enjoy the ride. We can offer a guided paddle raft for those groups wanting to more exercise and interaction with steering the boat.

Canoes

Our 16'canoes, made by Old Town, seat two guests comfortably along with personal gear. At lower water levels, canoes go easily where inflatable rafts cannot. Canoeing the Rio Grande does not require any previous experience or an Olympic fitness level - just a willingness to paddle. Beginning canoeists and those who haven't paddled since summer camp will receive a short introductory lesson from our experienced staff in order to help keep your canoe moving straight. We provide close proximity, on river support to paddlers, and encourage those who want a little more excitement during their trip to try out a canoe!

Please Note: Changing water conditions may affect the choice of craft for any river trip. Although we make every attempt to accommodate guest needs, river conditions on the day of departure may dictate a change in itinerary and boat selection. When you sign on for a trip, our staff will update you on the best boating option and canyon available for your particular date.

"My boyfriend, John Carver and I did a 2 day trip to Santa Elena Canyon w/ Tim and Jenny as our guides last week. It was FANTASTIC! Tim was so knowledgeable about everything in the area and river etiquette, etc, we learned SO much from him and Jenny. They are a great team and go out of their way to be there without intruding in any way. In fact, we were asking them to join us during meals. And the MEALS! Oh my! The food was WAY above our expectation. Wonderful! The salsa that someone in the Far Flung office made was great! I crave it now! And then Tim and Jenny made filet mignon and a chocolate cake in the dutch oven for us! This was my first time on the river again in years and I was nervous, but with Tim and Jenny as our guides, I never worried. This is a trip that everyone should take at least once. You'll see things that you would never be able to see without a canoe and Tim showed our group a neat place called Fern Canyon that we would never have known about without him as our guide. So awesome! The staff at Far Flung that helped us when we got there were so friendly and helpful! John who drove us to and from the put-in sites was so knowledgeable about the area and had the most amazing stories! I could have listened to his stories for hours! It was all great!! Thank you!"
