Continuing our visit to the Rio Grande Village area of Big Bend National Park, we took a side road to the Boquillas Canyon Overlook in September 2021. While there, we noticed a couple of Hispanic entrepreneurs had laid out their wares on the boulders the park service had conveniently placed around the overlook. From the overlook, we could look down on the Rio Grande beside us as well as at the beginning of the Boquillas Canyon where the river has carved a 1,300 foot-deep canyon in the Sierra del Carmen.
