Big Bend Part II

Last week I posted the first half of my Big Bend pics. On our second day we drove to the south side of the park to hike into Santa Elena Canyon. One side of the canyon is Mexico the other the US, two countries divided by an invisible border running through the Rio Grande. Technically if you wade through the river to the other side you just crossed the border illegally. When we took this hike, there were at least half a dozen people standing in the middle of the Rio Grande.

Sunset hike to The Window, with supposedly spectacular views, though we
didn't think we had time to go all the way to the end and get back before dark
