Boquillas Canyon Trail (1.4 mi/RT)
Similar in some ways to the Santa Elena Canyon trail, this hike leads you to the banks of the Rio Grande, and a short ways into Boquillas Canyon. This area is quite near a Mexican village, and during non-COVID times, there's a lot of coming and going across the border here. You can stand on a high rocky area and see folks cooking tomales over a fire in a little hut in Mexico, and horses and cattle cross freely. On a warm day, it's a fun place to wade (or swim, if you're nonchalant about the potential of contaminated water). Apparently, there are pictographs somewhere nearby, but we have yet to find them...
At the end of the trail, we found a wall of crystals! Cool!
