  • We spent 3 days deep in Santa Elena Canyon (Big Bend National Park). Its 1,500' walls cascade directly into the river creating an engaging place to explore.

    I was born and raised out in Alpine, so I grew up going to Big Bend my entire life.
    It was something that I took for granted, because it was something we did so often.
    Since moving away 8 years ago, I’ve grown more grateful for my old stomping grounds.
    Especially when I meet someone new and tell them where I’m from - seeing their face light up with excitement and curiosity.
    It was so refreshing to see BB from someone else’s perspective. It was like seeing it with a fresh set of eyes. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours - glad it was Big Bend.

    The Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande are spectacular! In 1984 I spent a week canoeing the stretch of river between Big Bend and Del Rio. After day one which was mostly flat water , the remainder of the trip was through twisting canyons and incredibly beautiful landscapes. We found several hot springs along the river and soaking in them after a long day's paddle was wonderful. We hiked up several side canyons and one day climbed up Burro Bluff of the Mexican side. Nice to see that nearly 40 years later the river is still wild and clean . At my age now I doubt I'll be able to do that trip again so thanks for the excellent video, it brought back lots of memories!

When we did our trip in 1984 there were 8 of us in 4 canoes and we only saw four other people during the 6 days we were on the river. We did the trip in mid March and the weather was ideal, low to mid 80's during the day and in the 50's at night.

      Florida has got to be the most boring flat shit terrain I say that as someone who lived there for 27 years too long get out of that place and over to the west coast it truly is the best coast. So many free things to do. Florida only has a very limited amount of free fun things to do. There’s more to life than smoking cigars drinking alcohol and getting pregnant by 18 and eating tobacco As the main diet in Florida. My life has been 1000x better since I moved out of that zero opportunity state

You have to cart gear a little ways but it shaves off a little bit of that tough mileage and puts you in the canyon immediately. I did Boquillas Canyon earlier this year too and I’d have to say I enjoyed it even more than Santa Elena. Put it on your bucket list!

    Mr. Brown-great GREAT VIDEO!! The shots were epic and extremely artful. Nobody can touch your skills for outdoor cinematography. The southwest can offer up its own set of challenges! I was close to Truth or Consequences NM some years back. I was near a bone-dry arroyo on a blistering day when I heard a huge roar and saw dust rising violently on the horizon. I moved away from the arroyo and ravine only to see a wall of water come screaming through, pushing huge tree trunks and rocks with it. It had rained up in the mountains and this was it’s result, hundreds of miles south. It reminded me how dangerous low rivers and dry creeks in the southwest can be. I thought of that as I watched you wonder about the impending storm you might face. I faced a copperhead on my kayak/camp trip this weekend on the walnut. You faced a wasp on your trip and got stung. Never know what awaits one on a trip! Gotta be on the lookout all the damn time! I noticed your buddy Chuck was unusually subdued in the video only to find out that his boss was also in the trip! That explained it! Anyway-again-you and your ever changing crew keep me stoked! 2 guys just joined my crew after buying new kayaks last weekend. I have turned these boys on to your videos. Look for more comments from Kansans in the future! As always, my best to you and your crew! Stay safe!

    • @GatewoodBrown

      Hey curt always fun to hear from you! Wow what a crazy story! I’ve watched desert flash floods and they’re pretty nuts. Just walks of water and debris out of nowhere. That’s what we were worried about here and it was strange, the water became extremely milky and very cold which was a stark difference from the previous day. I talked with Chuck about your comment and we both came to the consensus that we were mostly subdued because of how exhausting each day was! So much effort that by the time we were back at camp it was time to sit haha. Anyway great hearing from you!
