Big Bend - Winter Run E1

This winter we decided we wanted to go somewhere new, and somewhere warmer. Big Bend National Park in the southwest of Texas fit the bill.

BBNP is big and you need several days to see it. The first time we went was in February and if you like the Texas flower Bluebonnets, you will get to see a lot of them. I would recommend you checking out Big Bend Ranch State Park while you are there. It is bigger and less maintained. They also have Free Showers at the ranger station which were awesome! The drive from Study Butte to BBRSP is awesome as well. As usual, I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing, see you in NM! Be sure to check out the El Malpais National Monument near Grants. It's a lot of fun!

[@RevereOverland]

Definitely! We thought about going to BBRSP, but there are a few places my wife insisted on seeing (next episode) and limited time!
