When we were in Big Bend National Park in Texas we spent the fourth day of our stay on the east side of the park and hiked along the Rio Grande into Boquillas Canyon. The weather was cloudy but cleared enough to get some blue sky in this photo. The insets are of the canyon at the end of the trail and of the Rio Grande outside of the canyon.

Boquillas Canyon is at the east end of Big Bend National Park and is the canyon through which the Rio Grande flows between the USA and Mexico on its way out of the park. We hiked into the canyon and this was the end of the trail.

This is the Rio Grande near the east end of Big Bend National Park. From here the river flows through Boquillas Canyon and exits the park on its way to the Gulf of Mexico.
