Temple Canyon Canoe Camp, Rio Grande

Temple Canyon, Rio Grande, Texas

The first eleven miles of the Lower Canyons, paddled as a two-day, one-night trip. Towering limestone and spacious sand beaches without the pressure of high-mileage days. A good option for families with small children.

About the trip

The first eleven miles of the Lower Canyons, run as a short trip rather than an expedition. Towering limestone walls, spacious sand beaches to camp on, and no pressure to make miles.

They sell this one as the family option, and it is the gentlest thing on their river list.

Trips run for a minimum of two people and a maximum of eight. Shuttles and ground transport to and from the river are included; gratuities are not.
