Balmorhea Fish
The water at Balmorhea State Park is exceptionally clear and there are tons of fish swimming.
When I stood still for a few seconds I would get surrounded by hundreds of small fish.

Big Bend Rainbow
Big Bend Rainbow
We were lucky and caught a rainbow by the highway outside of Lajitas. This scenic highway runs through the southern portion of Big Bend Ranch State Park and is close to the Rio Grande.
Steep Dirt Hill
Steep Hill at the RV Park in Lajitas
Next to the part of the RV park we stayed at in Lajitas, TX were a couple of big hills on the way to the tenting area.
This one was pretty steep and very narrow at the top. It seemed to be made up of only dried mud, so I guess it will wash away some day. It was just barely wide enough to walk on, but very crumbly so I didn’t go far.

Rain on the Rio Grande
Rain and clouds over the Rio Grande River near Lajitas, TX.
While staying at the RV Park in Lajitas, TX we drove down the scenic Highway 170 a couple times. After seeing several horses on the Mexican side of the border, we crested one of the larger mountain passes on the road and started down to this view on the shoulder.
Mexico is to the left.
The view was reminiscent of the Headwaters of the Rio Grande I stopped at along a highway in Colorado, seen below.
