I\u00a0had a chance to visit Boquillas Canyon<\/a> during my recent trip to Big Bend National Park<\/a>. The Canyon is\u00a0the easternmost of the three main narrows sections within the park along the Rio Grande. The narrows is about 20 miles long, starting just east of Rio Grande Village a point where the river is officially ‘wild and scenic’. Boquillas is not as deep or sheer as Santa Elena, nor as rugged as Marsical but is still very impressive. At low water levels, the canyon may be explored on foot but for most of the year, a boat is the only option – the water is deep and fast flowing. This was the case when we visited earlier this month. I was able to hike along the river’s edge until I could no longer\u00a0go further due to high water. So, I stopped and put my tripod on the river’s edge and took this image. No clouds so the sunset was not as exciting but I did get some color on the horizon and off the canyon walls.<\/p>\n

Boquillas means “little mouths” in Spanish and is probably a reference to its small entrance.\u00a0The canyon is\u00a0one of the most famous canyons in the park\u00a0and is a favorite site for float trips down the river. Though its walls are more open and eroded than those in Santa Elena and Mariscal canyons, they still rise as high as 1,500 feet above the river below. They were carved out of thick layers of limestone originally deposited as sediments in a shallow sea, between 60 million and 130 million years ago.<\/p>\n
