Big Bend National Park

After a long drive, we arrived at our “luxurious” accommodations in west Texas.  We were really in the middle of no where!

It was a short drive to Big Bend National Park – my second visit, Jason’s first.

Perfect weather for hiking!

We hiked to “The Window”.  Erin – do you remember this one? It’s near the group camp.

That’s a big drop off – the rock was super smooth from the seasonal water flow – we were too scared to go out much further.

On our second day, we hiked in a canyon carved out by the Rio Grande.  We had wanted to canoe, but the water level was too low.

Jason took these cool pictures – you can’t tell what’s real and what’s a reflection in the water.

Here’s another shot to give you a better understanding of the above picture.
