Kayaking the Rio Grande

After hiking into Santa Elena Canyon, the entrance to which is visible on the left of the photo, we drove downriver a short distance and put our kayak in and kayaked up the river and back into the canyon. To our surprise the river was so shallow in places that we had to carry the kayak. We should have put it in right at the entrance to the canyon and not further down, but we made it back to the canyon and spent much of the rest of the day in the canyon and on the river. The photos were all taken with my phone which I kept in a waterproof bag when I was not using it. I did not dare take my camera in the kayak and soon found out that it was a good thing I did not since we capsized once in very shallow water but deep enough to have damaged my camera,
