One of the better hikes in Big Bend

The delicate balance of Big Bend's ecosystems is apparent along this ridge. The northern side is more lush.

This was the first of many hikes we did in Big Bend and it's one of the best for a relatively simple day hike. The rewarding views at the end of trail were obviously a hit with the other hikers on the trail, of which they were many.
