When 1993
Photographer Bruce Dale

"Gunmetal sheen of sundown bathes craggy terrain where the Rio Grande cuts a tortuous path. The 801,000-acre Big Bend National Park on the U.S. side, at right, is now complemented by Mexico's Santa Elena Canyon Protected Area, created in November 1994."

—From "Tex-Mex: The Winding Border," February 1996, National Geographic magazine
