Departing the Talley Access at Mariscal Canyon
Gary Tupa preparing to depart the Talley Access at Mariscal Canyon
Coming out of the Great Unknown, the canyon walls begin to rise at Mariscal Canyon
Mariscal Canyon is the perfect one day or overnight canoe trip
Mariscal Canyon is short and its approach looks a lot like The Great Unknown
Entering the gorgeous Mariscal Canyon on the Rio Grande
Like Santa Elena Canyon upriver, Mariscal Canyon begins with a small entrance rapid
The canyon walls quickly rise to 1,200 - 1,500 feet above the river
Mariscal is a very tight canyon on a narrow river where you can touch the walls from your boat

What a beautiful place to relax for our overnight trip in Mariscal Canyon!

The position of the sun shades and colors the gorgeous Mariscal Canyon
This trip is short on mileage but very long on scenic beauty
Leaving the canyon is like entering it - you negotiate a small rapid
Gary Tupa paddles out of the mouth of Mariscal Canyon
The canyon is dropping away as we near the Solis Access take-out
The only downside of canoeing Mariscal Canyon is how quickly it comes to an end
Looking back upriver into the mouth of Mariscal Canyon

One last break before we leave the canyon behind
Now the work begins at the Solis Access take-out
