A Drive through Big Bend National Park in West Texas


Nearing Panther Junction


Driving into the Chisos Mountains



This is known as "The Window"
The hike to look at the basin through "the window" is 2.5 miles.
It is not a difficult hike, but one must carry water.
Even in winter the air is dry & the hike is somewhat strenuous.

This view is from the area where the lodge is located
and is very rewarding without taking the hike.
