No Fence

Looking across the Rio Grande at Mexico from the American side at Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park. We are allowed to hike along our shore and even to canoe or kayak in the river but it is strictly forbidden to set foot on the Mexican shore. There is no fence because the nearest civilization is about 125 miles away on both sides. Rugged mountains, cougars and bears discourage incursions.
