I spent 5 days in Big Bend National Park this year on my way to Tucson and later Alaska. Big Bend for those of you who do not know is on the US Mexico Border. You can walk right across the river from the cottonwood campground and be in Mexico. There is not even a fence (a good thing in a National park) Much of the best scenery you see from the Park actually is in Mexico. I saw absolutely no evidence of any incursion by anyone coming across this completely free and open border. In fact in my discussions with the Rangers about this the only problem they say they have is with UDB's as they call them Undocumented Bovines. Yes Cows from the Mexico side often wander across and into the cottonwood campground which is right on the river.
We've been through Big Bend once (but did not camp there) on a long RV trip through the Southeastern U.S.. Big Bend looked to be a beautiful and pristine desert wilderness park area to spend more time in.
I wonder what the reasons are for that area not being used more as an easy backcountry crossing point from Mexico into the U.S.??
two things.. people and rangers..
