| Back into the National Park, 80 mile drive from the campsite to Rio Grande Village which is not so much a village as a campsite but again stunning landscape, no "West Texan Wind" today so very hot....... On route we stopped at The Hot Springs and hiked the mile loop trail and the mile Village Nature Trail........ |
 |
| The Rio Grande floodplain looking out towards Mexico's Sierra del Carmen...... |
 |
| Our last hike of the day is the Boquillas Canyon, not as dramatic as Santa Elena but well worth a look, we did have to run the gauntlet of the singing Mexican but luckily he stopped singing when we didn't give him any money !!! |
 |
| Another day another hike......today we decide to stay local and hike up to the Mesa at the back of the campsite, a 2 hour round trip. There are a variety of hikes we could have done but we go for the Red Rock Hike........... |
 |
| Quiet Canyon....they have approx 10 inches of rain here a year but it falls usually within one day......it would be fascinating to be here during/after the rains to see the changes ..... |
 |
| From a distance this rock face looks a man-made structure..... |
 |
| The red rocks which we can see from the campsite and look quite small from down there !!! |
 |
| I think he's thinking stop with the photos I want to get back for a beer !!! |
 |
| Another canyon and my last pic for this area......we have had a fabulous time here but it's time to move on, we are running out of food and more importantly running dry of beer and wine !!!! We need to move back to "civilisation" Tomorrow we are over-nighting at Van Horn then crossing into New Mexico to Carlsbad....... Stay tuned for more adventures from The Happy Campers......... |
Hi Both! Incredible photos, not quite John Wayne country but certainly Pancho Villas stuff! You must feel pretty isolated at times, I dont see lots of other people around. Must be great to feel warm - yes, it has been sunny here the last couple of days but still cold, and the weather is worsening again later this week. You are in the best place.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue & Michael,
ReplyDeleteHope you have managed to get the provisions by now especially the liquid ones.I was getting worried about the distinct lack of bars in the photos.All looks great watch out for the banditos. Bloody frost this morning.
Cheers
