Our Summer journey began at the entrance to Big Bend National Park. Upon arriving at the park, we stopped to take the obligatory picture at the front gate and then proceed to Fossil Rim. Since we arrived at the park at 4PM, it was extremely hot. Needless to say, the heat made our visit to Fossil Rim dramatically shorter as no sane person would have the desire to stand around in heat like that trying to look for the locations for fossils that are over a mile away.
Once we arrived in the Chisos Mountain Basin, the beauty of Big Bend was apparent.
The temperature was around 80 degrees and the trees, flowers, mountains, and wildlife provided a pleasant backdrop for our stay.
After dinner in the restaurant, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset and getting to know the other "campers" at Chisos Mountain Lodge.
End of Day 1.
