Rio Grande in Santa Elena Canyon
Pat above Tuff CanyonWe had been to all the big National Parks out west, except for Big Bend NP in TX. Since we were traveling west in southern Texas, we decided to remedy this situation. After a long and boring drive into the park, we were not too excited about the park. The Rio Grande was even a greater disappointment. We were expecting a raging river, ideal for rafting. Instead we found a slow, shallow stream. Our opinion of the park improved with time as we explored further. There were interesting canyons, hikes and different wildlife. We saw a coyote, roadrunner, bobcat and javelina. (No, the coyote did not catch the roadrunner, BEEP BEEP). It is the kind of park that grows on you with time.
