Nice video. We did Boquillas day trip a few weeks ago. Just learned about it a few months ago. I don't think many people know about this international trip from Big Bend. Happy trails!
Just discovered your channel randomly and it's super interesting and helpful for me as I'm going to embark on a US solo trip myself including many national parks and specifically Big Bend. One thing I don't really understand is how to figure out where should I go inside those national park?
Awesome! The beginning and planning of a trip is exciting because everything seems possible. In regards to figuring out where to go it all depends on what you like. A great place to start would be the national park website or visitor center. They can offer things to do which may be appealing to you and within your capabilities without putting you at risk. For me I was mostly hiking anywhere I went so I used online blogs and apps such as all trails to find my trails. The hikes I like are challenging and have great views in the area (longer distance and more elevation gain). The more difficult anything the less people you will come across but not always. In the case of Big Bend I knew there were Hot Springs worth trying to find, Emory Peak being the highest point, canyons along the Rio Grande worth exploring, and the port of entry into Boquillas Mexico as seen here. It helps to start with activities you are most interested in then prioritize them with the time you have in the area. I would also note campgrounds and places to stay for cheap (or in my case free) are limited so plan campgrounds/ such ahead of time. Enjoy your trip! If you have other questions I'm can share tips and thoughts from my experience. I really just looked for places and things I thought were cool and wanted to try. Hope this helps
The village across the river is indigenous. They don’t see a border they see a river they’ve lived on for hundreds of years. The cross illegally everyday. The men talking at the entrance of the canyon cross everyday on horse back and boat.
gracias por visitar boquillas coahuila
If anyone is in the area it is worth a visit!
The people are wonderful. I think it is worth it for the whole experience like you mentioned

I kind of stumbled upon it myself. A little surprise for those who are prepared to cross the border! Happy trails!
Great info sir. Gracias! 👍
Welcome!
Big Bend is such a cool place
Agree. I know I want to go back and kayak the Rio Grande. If you have other suggestions please share
@@bryantsinka Closed Canyon and the Hoodoos Big Bend Ranch State Park.
Thank you will remember that when I find my way back down there
@@bryantsinka for sure
Enjoyed it! Did you see any other parts of the park?
I did, the following day went into the Chisos Basin and hiked up Emory Peak

👏👏👏 great stuff! Yould should get a gopro on your head for POV
I had a head piece but never wanted to wear it haha
Then get a camera stabilizer, making us seasick. Nice report, though. Thanks.
pronounced bo key as.
Appreciate the correction
When he says "Boquillas" you know he aint from Texas.
Truth
The village across the river is indigenous. They don’t see a border they see a river they’ve lived on for hundreds of years. The cross illegally everyday. The men talking at the entrance of the canyon cross everyday on horse back and boat.
That makes sense to me. You changed my perspective on how they see things.
Stange how an American citizen needs a passport to enter Texas from Mexico. But a citizen of any other country doesn't.
The first time I used my passport was here
I lol’d. agreed.
