Big Bend National Park

A scenic shot from last years trip to Big Bend National Park. This was taken while hiking the parks "Lost Mine Trail" in June of '08. It's a 4.8 mile round trip hike, with an elevation change of several thousand feet, rated as "medium difficulty." For a fifty year desk worker, I would have rated it as "YIKES!"
