Big Bend National Park
Mountain Trail Region
Along with abundant natural wonders, the 800,000-acre Big Bend National Park—named for the crook of the Rio Grande on which it's situated—is full of Tejano history. Visitors may travel by rowboat to Boquillas, in the Mexican state of Coahuila, via the Boquillas River Crossing. Those not interested in crossing the border can enjoy a sweeping view of Mexican ranchland from the Boquillas Canyon overlook.
