I’ve been delinquent on the blog … Big Bend National Park, located in the southwest corner of Texas, spans 1,252 square miles. Its topography is varied enough to offer desert hikes, river hikes, and mountain hikes. This post will just be a (mercifully brief) collection of landscape photos, because all we did, for three days, was go on hikes.
Desert hike. To us, the rock formation at the lower left looks like a woman carrying something on her back.River hike—specifically, the Rio Grande and the Santa Elena Canyon, which is part of the border with Mexico. (Mexico is to the left, the U.S. is to the right.) The picture at the lower left shows a chunk of canyon wall that, at one point, fell to the floor; Abby is pictured next to it for scale.Mountain hike.
