Big Bend's Boquillas Crossing Stays Closed as Mud Blocks the Trail
The Boquillas Port of Entry in Big Bend National Park, the crossing to the Mexican village of Boquillas del Carmen, stayed closed Thursday and Friday, November 5 and 6, after an inspection found about 100 feet of the trail to the Rio Grande covered in slick mud with no safe way around it, the Big Bend Times reports, citing the park. The crossing has been closed since at least October 17, when high water made the path unsafe. Park officials planned another inspection Friday evening to decide whether it can reopen Saturday. When open, its winter hours are Thursday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
