Another amazing campground

Spent 4 days here — Drove down to Santa Elena canyon. Breathtaking. The drive alone was worth taking through the park. Recommend head lamp during sunset. 2 miles.

South rim loop - total of 13 miles took us 7 & 1/2 hours. There is a 19 mile option.

Lost mine trail - just as breath taking as the south rim. 2 mile trail (4total) 2hrs — when you think you’ve reached the end. KEEP GOING!! Incredible views— big bend river tours. **Took us an hour out of the park, the drive alone again- worth it. Easy float, easy rapids.

Ate at a Mexican restaurant in Terlingua! Super yummy and drove through ghost town!
