Big Bend National Park, Santa Elena Canyon
Big Bend! the furthest we have ever drug our airstream.
We opted to take the shorter (off-road) path to Santa Elena Canyon, Old Maverick Rd.
the truck did its job, we arrived a bit shaken by the washboard dirt road... but we made it.
Santa Elena Canyon! That's Mexico on the left side of the water.
It was near noon, almost no shade on our side of the canyon. We made frequent stops to take advantage of any we could find.
We only saw one piece of trash the whole trip. Kat scaled down some rocks to pick it up and drag it back to Austin for recycling.
Splashing is always fun, especially when it's 106 degrees outside.
yeah, those stairs and ramps are steep.
VIVA May-Hee-Coh!
We really appreciated the cold Shiner (and water, and iced tea) we found at Castolon inside the park. The kids enjoyed ice cream sandwiches.
