>This ain't the same river you see in New Mexico or Colorado. I mean it IS >the same river, but it is different. > True. The original Rio Grande pretty much peters out in Southern New Mexico. Nearly everything in the Lower is from Mexico. I've done the Lower Canyons from Big Bend to near Dryden TX on occasions. Definitely not a rafting river. Still fun, though. For me the best time is early April, when many of the cacti are in bloom. That can be very spectacular. It's usually a 6 day run down the river. I use Sunrise County Canoe Expeditions (Marty Brown's operation in Maine) for these trips and he's a good outfitter for this.
