Lower Canyons Scenery Along The Rio Grande National Wild And Scenic River

A view of the Rio Grande from a cliff above the river. From top to bottom, the image shows blue cloudless sky, steep beige cliffs dotted with green desert vegetation, a silty-green river interrupted by a rock garden rapid and in island, and bright green giant cane growing on both sides of the channel along the Rio Grande National Wild and Scenic River.

According to the National Park Service, "For 196 miles, this free-flowing stretch of the Rio Grande winds its way through desert expanses and stunning canyons of stratified rock. For the well prepared, an extended float trip provides opportunities to explore the most remote corner of Texas and experience the ultimate in solitude, self-reliance, and immersion in natural soundscapes."
