Big Bend National Park Part 1

Spent 2 nights at Big Bend NP.  Camped in 2 different campgrounds both on the Rio Grande. It was very hot near 100 F. It is a beautiful and interesting place and we really enjoyed it.  We are now camped at Sanderson, TX on our way to Gulf of Mexico beaches.  Here are a few of the many pictures we took.
