These 30-minute boat rides are a great way to spend the afternoon or evening with your family. Escape from the city and enjoy the cool breeze as you glide along Buffalo Bayou’s waters. Look for graceful herons, jumping fish, and even an occasional alligator sunning on the banks.
Discussion with New Monuments for New Cities participating artists Delilah Montoya and Jimmy Castillo (Sin Huellas artists) and Phillip Pyle, II.
