Day 1 in Big Bend Park

Went hiking on the Lost Mine Trail, about a five mile hike up to some great views.  Are there any bad views in any National Park?  Saw some other hikers but not very many.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, they do it a lot better than I can.
On the way down we heard this bird singing to us beside the trail so we stopped to see what he wanted, really to get his ID.  Later we were at the Visitor Center and Carlene found a picture book of local birds and identified him as a Mexican Jay.  Too bad we didn't think to record his song.

One fancy culvert

The lower side of that culvert.  I think this may be CCC work


We think they did some blasting to build these steps
