Crossing the Rio Grande - Yep, we were actually in Mexico but don't tell the Border Patrol
The hike into Santa Elena Canyon is surprising tropical. The Rio Grande provides the much needed moisture to the canyon and allows for some great shade at the opening to the canyon.
This is the view as you enter into Santa Elena Canyon .
After the short trip (approx 30 minutes) into the canyon, a much needed break was taken along the river running through the canyon.

A brief stop in Castolon after leaving the canyon allowed us to grab some snacks, drinks and visit the house where a friend of mine at work was raised as an infant while her parents ran a general store out of this building.
After a long day on the road, we were finally back at the cottage for a much needed rest and a break from the heat of the desert floor.
End of Day 3.
