Big Bend National Park in Texas was our destinatio Big Bend National Park in Texas was our destination for Thursday. Hot and sunny weather and almost complete lack of other visitors allowed us to cover most of the best scenic areas in the park. Regretfully, the road leading to the Santa Elena Canyon viewpoint was closed because of flooding.
We lucked out Tuesday morning with a 2-hour rain f We lucked out Tuesday morning with a 2-hour rain free window to explore Chiricahua National Monument, with its pinnacles, hoodoos and balancing rocks made of rhyolite tuff spewed by an ancient volcano around 27 million years ago and weathered since then by ice, wind and rain. Hiking part of the trail into the Echo Canyon grottoes allowed us to get up close and personal with some of these incredible formations.
Beautiful weather today for our drive from El Paso Beautiful weather today for our drive from El Paso TX to Carlsbad Caverns NM, passing by Guadalupe Peak National Park. We walked into the cave via the Natural Entrance, a steep winding 1.25 mile path that drops 750 feet. The cave pictures don't come close to conveying it's size and grandeur but I think you will enjoy the amazing formations.
