My best friend and I went to Big Bend in 1990. We were walking on a desert trail about 2 1/2 miles in when we came upon 25 men dressed like ninjas , their face’s covered the whole 9 yards. It was without a doubt, one of the strangest sites we had ever seen in our lives. We respected their privacy and kept on moving, but it was pretty freaky.!! I do have a blurry picture I took of the desert ninjas. !!

@@MrSTravelQuest If you haven’t visited Fort Davis there’s a lot to see there. The town is kind of cool. The McDonald Observatory, and the Fort Davis National Historic Site is really cool. Especially touring the barracks and the fort hospital to see how the soldiers lived and received medical care. There’s just so much in that area that is worth the trip. Our favorite hikes in Big Bend National Park are The Chimneys Trail where at the end of the trail and you’re among the rock “chimneys” there are petroglyphs. It’s about 5 miles in and out and fairly easy. Ward Spring Trail is nice. I can’t recall the exact distance but it’s got a lot of scenery as you’re fairly close to the Chisos Mountains. Another easy hike is Lower Burro Mesa Pouroff. Only a mile in and out but so worth it when you reach the dead end at the pouroff from the mesa above. And watching the sunsets from Sotol Vista are incredibly beautiful. Being there on really dark nights is some of the best stargazing you’ll ever experience. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
