- Big Bend National Park is an American national park located in West Texas, bordering Mexico. The park has national significance as the largest protected area of Chihuahuan Desert topography and ecology in the United States, and was named after a large bend in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo.
The park encompasses an area of 801,163 acres. For more than 1,000 miles, the Rio Grande/Río Bravo forms the boundary between Mexico and the United States, and Big Bend National Park administers approximately 118 miles along that boundary.
This 4 day 3 night trip was through the Boquillas Canyon portion of the river and was 33 miles in total. The put-in was Rio Grande Village and the take-out was Heath Canyon Ranch.
You will need a backcountry permit for camping, and you must secure permission to take out at La Linda from the landowners at Heath Canyon Ranch (432-376-2235).

Such an epic trip. Keep putting out videos my man! The people need to see just how wonderful our rivers are in Texas. Cheers!
The Texas Legend himself! It is an honor GB, thanks for watching!!
@@Docholiday1102 haha hardly! Just stoked to see other kayak camping channels out there. Texas is slowly becoming a hot spot for that which is rad to see!
Thanks for making it possible for those of us who have never been there and are interested in what it looks like, to see it so well.
You’re welcome Gary I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I grew up in del rio Texas and I used to have the greatest times on that river😃My parents had friends who owned some undeveloped property, just an empty lot basically but it was perfect for camping. During the summer months my family and I would stay for days and camp out right on the river bank . We would cook out and swim all day long and it was an awesome place to be!! I never forgot how beautiful the river was,but your outstanding video footage really activated my memories and made me remember what a great place I got to experience as a kid. Now I wanna go back 😁Lol, thank you guys so much, great job, great video!!
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Man, you were really blessed with perfect conditions on that river. Such a gorgeous blue
It was incredible we got lucky! March was the perfect time.
@@Docholiday1102 will definitely need to plan for that time, then! Probably caught the early snowmelt before any floods
I can't tell you how stoked I am to see someone else rocking a pungo 120
Love my Pungo!
@@Docholiday1102 its REALLY hard to find good mods for them.. would love to see a gear loadout for some of your trips! I'm doing a couple weekend trips this summer in mind and keep going back and fourth on gear lists :D
That would be one hell of an adventure.
Great video! Nice vistas, around the campfire, down the river shots. Excellent understated use of background music. Thumbs up!
Thanks Mike trying to make small improvements each video. Learning to add SFX now to give them even more life.
CZcams makes me feel like I'm the only person who doesn't kayak with a cast iron skillet.
Looks like an amazing time
Pretty cool video
Thanks for watching Ken!
Looks like an awesome trip through beautiful country! Especially love the drone footage.
Yes sir it was an incredible adventure! Turned a couple of boys to men this trip.
What a great trip!
Funny how the Pungo looks like the smallest boat for once...
Wow! Such an awesome experience. Thanks for this video :)
Thanks for watching!
Subscribed. Next summer I'm posting my upstate NY trips. Kind of jealous that y'all can paddle now
it provoked me the food looked delicious
Thanks for watching!
Nice Trip Guys...nice n smootj
Looks like a good time! I must have missed the fishing footage...keep em coming!
Thanks for the video. Big Bend is such a cool place to visit. I was out there about 3 weeks ago.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Great video! Crow
Thanks for watching!
That was dope !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done, great shots.
Thanks Robert!
Beautiful video! We just did a kayak camping trip down the Colorado River and this popped up and looks like something we would love to do in the future! Thank you for posting.
Which part of the Colorado?
@@Docholiday1102 we did the lower part of the river from right around Brawley to Imperial I think is what it is considered.
Looks like an amazing trip, I will need to do this trip.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
awesome
Thanks for watching!
gonna need that stew recipe! AWESOME video!
Thanks Anthony!
thank you for taking the time to document this trip. now i'm starting an investigation to see if this is an option - great footage. would you be willing to comment on what time of year is optimal....or other various conditions that impact. ever since our experience on the devils river - been looking for the next remote texas river trip. many thanks.
Just be wary of the heat is all I can say. Early March and it was still gnarly warm. My hands got fried the first hour which is why I am wearing gloves the other days. Also, in the canyon be aware that you’ll only get 5-6 hours of direct sunlight. This meant that we often woke and everything was still wet from the day before.
I think I'd want to learn at least a few basic paddle strokes before I decided to do a trip like this. If nothing else, it's boat insurance. LOL
I think you’d be ok!
Excellent video. What I didn't understand is why the author of the video included a construction wheelbarrow and a lawn mower in his adventure kit. (they appear at minute 0:41 of the video.🤔)
Hahahaha merely garage clutter!
I notice most people do a 3 day trip. Is there good options to do a single day with no over night trip? Not so much info on those. Thanks again for the great views
Out in Big Bend there is the Santa Elena Canyon which is a day trip I believe.
Great trip and video. I’m curious on what brand and kit do you have for the pots and skillets? I looking for a good set! Thanks for sharing your video.
Thanks for watching! The cooking setup is the Jet boil genesis base camp
@@Docholiday1102 Thanks for the information!!
This is incredible!!! What time of year did you go?
March I believe
I swear I heard "y'all want gummies"😂
Bahahaha
How does one go about doing this amazing trip?
As Nike would say… Just Do It! But for real if you have any questions lmk. I put a bunch of info in the description too I believe.
I need to know one thing... Did those shark teeth come on that one kayak or did yall put them on there.. cause i want em on my boat. lol.. cool video man!
Hahahaha no he purchased the stickers off of Amazon.
Brett: What size Pungo is that?... 120 or 125? and what is the the PVC tube over the front? Thanks!!!
What’s up Gene! I have a Pungo 120 and the PVC tube was out poop tube lol
@@Docholiday1102 , Thanks for the reply Brett!!! I just ordered a Pungo 125 today and it should be shipped to me -hopefully- in a couple of weeks and I plan to do that Brazos river trip from Possum Kingdom down to Rochelle's... but we haven't had any real rain for a while... Sure hope the Pungo can float in very little water...
Hey Brett, do you recall the CFS, or the exact launch day so I can look it up? Great vid man!
What's up Duke! I do not recall the flow rate but we went on March 4th through the 8th in 2021 if you wanted to try and look it up.
I did a short one night canoe trip up river on the Rio Grande last October. I can't wait to go back for more... So, did y'all use that one poop tube for the 4 of you? Did you make the tube? How did it work out? I'm getting ready for an epic kayak camping journey of my own and am looking to make one. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
The one tube was good for all four of us.

What time of year did u guys do this trip? I would love to do this trip down the Rio Grande. Do you have to get a permit any fees to be able to do this?
What’s up Leif! We did this the first week of March and it was perfect. Prior to putting in, you must obtain the appropriate permits for river and backcountry access from the park headquarters at Panther Junction (in-person). It was a quick process.
Can you post a link to the drone you use?
I use the DJI Mini 2. I think they just released 3 which has some extra features but I haven’t seen the price.
@@Docholiday1102 nice. Thank you. Those are about $600 and in my price range.
what was inside that white PVC pipe that was on that one kayak?
That sir is our poop tube… this paddle through the National Park required either a portable toilet or some sort of waste system and this is what we decided was best.
Great adventure! Thanks for sharing. Adding this to my to do list 😎 We do a lot of kayaking and camping in the Pacific Northwest if you want to check out our channel.
The wild horses looked majestic AF man.
They were man, so crazy!
yall repurposing tandem kayaks as heavy hauler camp kayaks?
Yeah we’ll typically pack more on a tandem yak.
