Big Bend Day 3

The Chisos Basin





On the way up to the basin we were stopped by a young black bear. Unfortunately it disappeared into the brush before we could get a picture.



















The Window (La Ventana) 





Tiny flowers 


I found this pink cactus extraordinary.

Grapevine Hill Road



The best part of traveling with a jeep continues to be the ability to go where others cannot.

Balanced Rock

 






Many interesting geologic features. This long ridge with a volcanic fin on top I called "The Sandworm".
