"Big Bend National Park was once envisioned as one side of an international park, and it’s easy to see why. The Rio Grande, with its limestone canyons and heavily diverted flow, doesn’t know it’s a border. The austere beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert continues in all directions, the river not a dividing line but a source of life."
