Joe's Canyon-Yaqui Trail to Mexico

Last hike of the season, a return to Joe's Canyon Trail, in the Coronado National Monument, with a side trip down the Yaqui Trail to Mexico. No need for a passport to cross over here. What's amazing about Mexico is how free from ugly development it is. It's quite unlike the Arizona desert, pock-marked by the detritus of quashed, ill-conceived 19th- and 20-century aspirations. 

This is what we should be erecting on the border.

Note the laser-straight border cut through the manzanita, bear grass, mesquite, and cacti clear to the horizon.
