The massive cliffs of the Sierra del Carmen appear unyielding, yet the Rio Grande has carved a gorge 1,500 feet deep directly through the escarpment. Boquillas Canyon is so narrow that the entrance is almost invisible at this distance.

From the trailhead one mile down the road, hike the short Boquillas Canyon Trail to the canyon entrance. Beside the water, between towering walls, you can see and hear how the river acts as a liquid rasp, grinding the gorge deeper with tons of silt and sand.
