We took a car ride to, then hiked into, Santa Elena Canyon. The body of water, of course, is the Rio Grande - no illegals crossing here! That's Irene fording the small stream leading into the canyon, before you have to start climbing to get these canyon pix. There's a paucity of photos of Joe, since he's the one with the camera - plus, he think's it's funny to take pictures of the city girl hiking. Irene is always so bundled up because she's afraid of getting sick again - lots of wind in them hills.
