Another nice walking opportunity for those who can only do short hikes in the park, More

Border Patrol all around as the Rio Grande border is closed. Saw Boquillas, Mexico and the horses and Mexicans hoping we would walk across the Rio Grande to ride their horses-an illegal activity! The Rio Grande is almost dried up here. More

We drove to the Boquillas Canyon overlook. Lovely view of the river. The whole park is breathtaking. It's not a pretty park, but it is beautiful. More

Short hike takes you to beautiful views of Rio Grande and the Boquillas Canyon. For children and adults alike have extra energies to burn, the sand dune is a wonderful playground. My children hiked to the top of the sand dune and slide down (not easy though) a couple of times. It was very fun for them. Just to warn... More

That said, my heart goes out to the people of Boquillas, Mexico who literally live in hand made adobe houses and who have running water perhaps two hours per day, no source of income and who have one light per house powered by a...

From Panther Junction (Park Headquarters with a gas station), you drive about 23 miles. Rio Grande Village (a campground with a store and gas station) is about 2.4 miles from Boquillas Canyon. At the canyon, you can park your car, go up a small hill, and at the top you see holes in the ground where native Americans used to... More

Worth the long drive southeast from Panther Junction for the scenery on the way and the great mouth of the canyon as the river flows into it. The canyon walls are gigantic and almost ominous. A huge sand drift has piled up near the mouth of the canyon that would likely be fun for children. The easy walk from the... More
