Big Bend's Boquillas Crossing Reopens After Three Weeks
The border crossing to Boquillas del Carmen reopened Saturday once mud on the trail to the Rio Grande dried out.
The Boquillas Port of Entry in Big Bend National Park, the crossing to the Mexican village of Boquillas del Carmen, reopened Saturday, November 7, after about three weeks closed, the Big Bend Times reports; the National Park Service now lists it as open. High water on the Rio Grande closed it by mid-October, and as of November 5 about 100 feet of the trail to the river was still covered in slick mud with no safe way around it.
The crossing is on its winter schedule, Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and hours can change with weather and river conditions. Visitors need a valid passport and must meet entry requirements on both sides of the border.
