Looking Out to Mexico at Night on the Border: Big Bend National Park

What the Mexican Border Looks Like at Night

While at Big Bend National Park in West Texas, I headed up the hill at night, hearing rustling javelinas (mountain lion?), and saw a few lights in the distance.

This was Mexico a few miles away.

Nearby, which you can’t see, is the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo, which I expected to be grand, but in fact was nearly a stream and was about three feet deep.
