We visited Big Bend and made the trip up to Carlsbad in February. I enjoyed your pictures and narrative of both places. The trips into and out of BB are quite long and desolate. We felt part of BB's appeal was that no one was there by accident.
After leaving Carlsbad we stayed at Rockhound SP on our way west and found it to be more than expected.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I was at City of Rocks during November, 2013 & met a group of soldiers returning from overseas climbing the rocks. A pretty campground with some amazing sunsets. & met a group of soldiers returning from overseas climbing the rocks. A pretty campground with some amazing sunsets:
Here's a picture of Mary playing her concertina in front of our '78 Trillium 1300 at City of Rocks SP a few winters ago. We were tucked tightly in the rocks to get out of very high winds...all day and night! But, a very lovely park, all in all.
