The designation was first applied in 1968 to a {{convert|55.7|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of the river in New Mexico; an additional {{convert|191.2|mi|km}} of the river in Texas was added in 1978, followed by another {{convert|12.5|mi|km}} in New Mexico in 1994. The New Mexico portion of the Wild and Scenic River runs from the New Mexico–Colorado border approximately {{convert|68|mi|km}} south. The lower 4 miles of the Red River, a tributary of the Rio Grande in Taos County, New Mexico, was also added to the Wild and Scenic River System. The two rivers intersect in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area. Approximately {{convert|69|mi|km}} of the Wild and Scenic River in Texas is within Big Bend National Park; the remainder is downstream of Big Bend. Three rugged canyons are preserved under this designation: Boquillas Canyon is the most accessible, as it can be reached via a popular RV campground; Mariscal Canyon can only be entered via a high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle; and entrance to the Lower Canyon, due to rapid size, is only possible by signing a National Park Service liability or "acknowledgement of risk" waiver. The Wild and Scenic River designation does not include Santa Elena Canyon, which is the most popular recreational area in Big Bend. See also
