Laurel and I just returned from a week in Big Bend National Park. We spent part of the time with her parents and part just the two of us. In a word, "WOW!"
At almost 1,000,000 acres, Big Bend is big. And the terrain is quite diverse - from the Rio Grande, to canyons, to mountains, to forests, to deserts. Sort of like Texas, I guess.
We drove 1,200 miles in the week - it's a long way there and back - and saw a whole new part of Texas (new to us). Beautiful. Inspiring.
