Rio Grande, Big Bend.

I planned a trip in Feb on the Rio Grande some years ago with my brother. We planned it months in advance. We were hit with a Blue Norther and there was snow in the canyon. Winter is dark and cold and building a fire is tough. We cancelled the trip.

I have been backpacking in Big Bend NP in winter. We went over land from spring to spring. Great trip. I loved the country
 
I've never seen an area with more things that will bite you, sting you, poke you, or scratch you.
A tough place to survive.
One of the best river trips I've ever done. Probably not as safe as it was in 1995.

I think there was more water in 1981 when my brother and I did the trip. This is "the tight squeeze", which I believe is your last photo. I am in the stern.

That was an impressive drop with a loaded tandem, especially seeing in the other photos what was beside you and below you.
