I spoke of going to Boquillas Canyon which you get to by parking the car in a lot, then climbing up about 100 feet and then hiking back down to river level where there was a trail. There were trees all around, so I was mainly hiking in the shade - a good thing because the trail is about 1.5 miles long to the end, where I could see the canyon in the rocks. The temperature was over one hundred degrees, so I walked slowly and it was not a problem. This panorama gives an overall view of the scenery from a distance and was taken from the top of the 100 foot rise above the parking lot. You can see the Rio Grande river at the lower right. The canyon itself starts at the high rock wall straight ahead in the distance. This is a large file, so please click on it to see more detail.

Seeing all this greenery and Rio Grand River is so totally different than the desert in Big Bend. A nice change and glad you had a little shade for your hike.
I knew the name Boquillas Canyon was familiar so went back through your photos. I saw the one showing the arts and crafts on top of the mountain trail and the similar photo of the Rio Grande. Betsey
