Rolling hills, brushed with the muted greens and browns of mesquite and live oak, cradle the town, their slopes softened by the persistent sculpting of wind and water. The rivers themselves, ribbons of silver and jade, carve their paths through the limestone bedrock, their banks a sanctuary for the rustle of unseen creatures and the patient growth of riverside vegetation.
