BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK - DAY 2

We drove 100+ miles over the paved roadways of Big Bend National Park today.

It served several purposes for us. First, we able to get an overview of exactly what Big Bend looks like without needing to get out of the air conditioned comfort of ROVER.

Secondly, we drove to the opposite side of the park to check out the campsite we'll be spending the second half of our visit at.

We did this because while we were in the process of filling our fresh water tank just outside of the campground a "very knowledgeable and helpful" fellow RVer informed us we wouldn't be able to get THE POD over the roadways leading to Cottonwood Campground. Long story short, he was wrong!

Anyway here are our photos from driving around the park all day.

DAY 2

This long low bridge goes over a dry wash which only comes into play during the heavy rains of monsoon season in late August.
A far away view of the Chisos Basin Mountains.
We learned this black rock in the park has volcanic origins.
A lone tree atop the Sotol Vista overlook.
This tall mountain is called Cerro Castellan (3293 ft.) and can be seen from our future site at Cottonwood Campground.
It wasn't all rocks, cacti and roadway...
We saw some wildlife too out here in the desert.
This roadrunner was occupying our future campsite at Cottonwood.
