Santa Elena Canyon
66 images Created 30 Dec 2020
One of the most iconic landscapes of Texas, majestic Santa Elena Canyon rises 1,500 feet above the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo del Norte. The canyon's left face is the Sierra Ponce in Chihuahua, Mexico while the right face marks the edge of Mesa de Anguila in Texas.
A dramatic hiking trail follows the canyon in about about 8/10 of a mile, offering dramatic views of both the canyon interior and desert window beyond. Crossing the Terlingua Creek bed to get to the trail is generally dry - unless recent rains have flashed the creek.
The gallery includes a range of photos inside and outside Santa Elena Canyon.
