The road closely follows the Rio Grande, tracing the international border for much of its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003eFrom this elevated roadside viewpoint, the river can be seen winding through the canyon below. The far bank lies in Mexico, while the foreground ledge and cactus sit on the Texas side. The scene was photographed near sunset, with the light dropping quickly as the sun slipped behind the surrounding terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1301\"\u003eThis is a straightforward focus stack made from a small number of exposures to maintain clarity across the cactus and surrounding rock while holding detail into the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1303\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eContext and Landscape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003eFM 170 is one of the most visually striking drives in Texas, climbing high above the Rio Grande before descending back toward the river again and again. The terrain is steep, exposed, and rocky, with frequent pull-offs that place viewers directly above the canyon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1791\"\u003eThis particular viewpoint sits high on a ledge, offering an unobstructed look downriver.
