Boquillas Canyon, Big Bend National Park

This is a nice spot to overnight in your car in the winter time, get a blanket for the night and wake up to a beautiful sunrise. Back in 2019, there used to be a US Customs office right by the river and you could get to Boquillas del Carmen in small boats run by locals to have lunch on the Mexican side. Not sure if this is still possible now. The mesas on the US side are pretty impressive , they are not very tall but the view from a few hundred feet of elevation is quite beautiful.

The Boquillas Canyon Trail is a must do hiking trail. The trailhead is about 4 miles from the Rio Grande Campground, that had restrooms, a store and WiFi. At the trailhead there is ample parking, and a vault toilet. The trail is out ant back, with the first part of the trail having stairs and a small switch back. Only the beginning is moderate, with the rest being easy. If the river is low, you can hike into the walls of the canyon. I saw wild horses and a honor system vender stand. There is zero cell and WiFi at this trail.
