Stan and I left El Paso at about 10 AM this morning on our way to Big Bend National Park. It was about a 7 hour drive, if you include stopping for lunch in Marfa, Texas. This view is from quite a distance away from the park itself, but man, oh man, what a stunning landscape. In this case, mountains on mountains.
This is a view of two mountains and some cacti shortly after we entered the park itself. You can see how rugged these mountains are if you look closely. I wonder it these are not volcanic plugs, as Shiprock is, but I can't be sure. I will ask a ranger tomorrow. It can be seen as a desolate landscaper at times but it is really beautiful in so many ways. Just a different beauty than you would expect, but it grows on you.

Beautiful! Enjoy. Joan
The foreground of the first photo looks so desolate but the background looks majestic! I like the second photo with the cacti, blue sky and white clouds. Betsey
