Sotol Vista Overlook

After visiting the Homer Wilson Ranch in big Bend National Park, we drove on to the Sotol Vista Overlook where we stopped for a few photos. The view is south Mexico is visible in the background. We were following the Ross Maxwell Scenis Drive, visible on the right of the photo and our destination was the Santa Elena Canyon, visible as a notch in the first inset. The next day we would go kayaking on the Rio Grande into Santa Elena Canyon on the border between the USA and Mexico. The second and third insets are from the Homer Wilson Ranch and the last inset is of the sign at this viewpoint, a sign which gives information about the Sotol plant, identifies the peaks in the distance and explains the view.
