Description
The Marufo Vega Trail crosses the draw at river left. Marufo Vega is a 14-mile round-trip strenuous-- and often poorly-marked-- loop trail that leads back to the Boquillas Canyon Overlook. The trail provides a convenient way for paddlers to explore the desert. However, it is always recommended that you bring a GPS when hiking in the desert, as trails can become faint due to underuse, or they can become confused with game trails, arroyos, and other natural features. Always bring plenty of water and salty snacks when hiking in the desert as well. Dehydration and hyponatrumia are the leading causes of avoidable fatalities in Big Bend.
