Greetings from Big Bend National Park!

View from the nature trail at Rio Grande Village campground in Big Bend National Park

Great hiking, gorgeous views, warm days and cool nights: what more could one ask!? Here are some of our favorite sights so far.

Steps leading to the big surprise - a window overlooking the valley below.

Looking out the "window" on The Window Trail.

The scenic drive to Santa Elena Canyon included many scenic views and sights. We had a nice hike about half way around, a nice chance to get out and stretch our legs a bit. 

Having fun with Photography and "Mule Ears" peaks.

The Rio Grande River in Santa Elena Canyon: one side of the canyon is in the United States, the other is in Mexico.

We have enjoyed seeing new birds, and continuing our photography lessons trying to capture good quality photos of them.

A group of western bluebirds were some of the first birds we saw on arrival at Rio Grande Village campground.
