Thanksgiving Trip to Big Bend National Park

Post by borellar15 »

So we bought a mini travel trailer and took a trip from Austin to Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Dogs are not allowed on the trails in National parks so we had a day in Big Bend Ranch State park. Here are some highlights.

Wow, I have to admit I always envisioned Big Bend as being dry and desolate. I've always turned down going. But that is lovely.

How long did you stay?
