We traveled across the Rio Grande River in Texas several times in the past. Here, it flows around “the big bend” on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. The water provides vital habitat for plants and animals and offers dramatic scenery, geology and thrilling recreational opportunities. Many wild and isolated canyons are great for rafting. A 200-mile stretch (of the 1,885 total miles) are designated the “National Wild & Scenic River”. We had a good view of the river at the summit of the Lost Mine Trail looking southeast as it snaked between USA and Mexico.
