One Canyon unites two countries
by Jakob Rieger
Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park (TX), created by the Rio Grande, marks the border between the US and Mexico in this area. Following the trail all the way to the end, you would be able to cross the Rio Grande (due to extremely low water levels) and take a step into Mexico and back to the US, if you wanted to.
