Big Bend Ranch State Park

Big Bend Ranch State Park was pretty neat. I stayed out there 4 days and 3 nights. The nights were nice and cool but the days were pretty hot! Maybe around 110? 113? There is hardly any shade out there so make sure to take a big hat a LOTS of water!! One place worth visiting in the park is the Salitario! It is pretty amazing!! But before you go and see it make sure to find a picture of an aerial view! It is pretty fascinating to see it from a different point of view. Wildlife- we only saw a snake, javelinas, and deer when first entering the park. At night coyotes surround you and it sounds creepy but yet so neat! This park is very peaceful and quiet. If you love the desert life, defiantly a great place to get away and take some time off!

Big Bend National Park

Big Bend National Park is a beautiful place to visit and stay at if you're ever in West Texas! During the day some of the best places to visit (there's to many to list) are the Hot Spring located right on the Rio Grande, Santa Elena Canyon, The Window Trail, Tuff Canyon, Dog Canyon, Cattail Falls and of course the Chisos Mountains. At night time you must stay awake to see all the beautiful stars! The milky way is easy to see and the stars are so bright! River trips are available and are super fun! If you're lucky, you might spot all the beautiful wildlife! The temperature is definitely hot in that area, but I've loved all the adventures Big Bend has had to offer!
