Big Bend --next 2 days


Big Bend is describe as "a place in Far West Texas where night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone. Here, at the end of the road, hundreds of bird species take refuge in a solitary mountain range surrounded by weather-beaten desert. Tenacious cactus bloom in sublime southwestern sun, and diversity of species is the best in the country". This magical place is Big Bend.  We spent 3 days exploring it all. 

Chisos Mountains, Santa Elena Canyon, and Balanced Rock:

We loved Santa Elena the best.

Balanced Rock was really cool
