The Big Bend

February 21, 2019 by Dogger

South of Marathon is one of our Nation’s best National Parks. Big Bend! We saw 70 species of birds in one day and visited the Rio Grande River after an amazing sunrise!

Sunrise Just north of Big Bend National Park

Panther Junction, The main Visitors center!

Ocotillo and Big Skies dominate the landscape

The Rio Grande and our Border with Mexico, on our Visit it was Desolate and no one for miles.. we failed to see any emergencies..

Ocotillo is my favorite Cactus, and it thrives in these Hard Scrabble landscapes of West Texas
