One of the better hikes in Big Bend

The switchbacks along the trail can be tiring. But concentrating on the rock outcropping ahead helps you keep focus.

This was the first of many hikes we did in Big Bend and it's one of the best for a relatively simple day hike. The rewarding views at the end of trail were obviously a hit with the other hikers on the trail, of which they were many.
