Here are some of the best shots I got while exploring Big Bend. I got snow twice in 4 days during the “Big Chill of 2021” that swept down the middle of the country. From my campsite at Stillwell Ranch Store & RV Park, I drove down FM2627 to the Rio Grande River and the …
Terlingua and Study Butte are sister cities between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas.
