| Entering the Canyon |
A hike into a beautiful canyon on the Rio Grande River.

You can barely see the canoeist in the distance, really giving you the size of the cliff walls.

Just across the river is the Mexican town Bosquillas. Usually open as a port of entry to visit this small village. They transport you across by boat for $5 and then you can get a donkey ride for the last mile into town.
Because of the border closing they often sneak over and set up shop on the honor system. Selling trinkets and walking sticks. If you get caught by border patrol with these goods you have to give them up.
Too bad for this small town that relies on tourists. I also can't imagine a wall along the Rio Grande.
Looks like a lovely spot. Enjoy as it is below zero back home.
