We visited Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge last week. The refuge is along the US - Mexico border, one side of the refuge is bordered by the Rio Grand. We saw armadillo, alligators, green jays, road runners, and bobcats while wandered about the park trails. The park has walking trails only, we traversed most of them. It was very dry when we visited, not sure if it always is in the winter or it has just been a dry year or two?
The Spanish moss in the park is amazing. Several trails have large sections where the moss covers about everything. I kept expecting a wizard or fairy to appear through the moss. There were several impressive tropical plants which have existed since prehistoric times and you could imagine a dinosaur coming by to munch on one.
You can see the Rio Grand from a distance up high on its banks. Occasionally you see green trashbags and assorted wet clothing where someone had made it across the border.
