There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short |

distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way
| there are not so many other good places for that around here. Whitewater paddling here in the Chisos Mountains is a great experience. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding.
