Boquillas Canyon, Canyon in Big Bend National Park, United States.
The Rio Grande River carved this 33-mile canyon through limestone walls that rise 2,600 feet above the water level in the Chihuahuan Desert.
Native American tribes left evidence of their presence through grinding holes in rocks along the canyon walls, marking centuries of human activity.
The canyon forms a natural boundary between Texas and Mexico, connecting communities on both sides through shared traditions and experiences.
Visitors can access the canyon via a 1.5-mile trail from the parking area, with facilities including restrooms and water stations available.
A massive sand dune marks the entrance to the canyon, creating an unexpected desert feature against the limestone cliffs.
