Dark n’ Sunny: Big Bend
West Contrabando Dark Sky Site
We recently spent a long weekend in Big Bend soaking in the massive night skies and glowing morning sunrises out of our tent.
Lunch time view between rides, Pen and Ink, BBRSP
Love this candid of Michelle looking up from the mine shaft
Big Bend Ranch SP has an abandoned mercury mine out in the park to explore
Sun baked textures in the desert
View from Big Bend National Park Hot Springs, Pen and Ink
Michelle and her CHUMBA URSA on Crystal mtn trail, yes, those are all quartz crystals!
The mine area has some cool artifacts like this ole’Chevy
Kept my map handy in my Wanderlust Gear Rattlesnake bag, sweet patch from Everything Will Be Noble thanks to Brent Knepper!
Recent fire damage in the Big Bend Nat. Park, native plants will likely come back strong and happy with new seeds being activated by the fires to grow.
