After we explored the Homer Wilson Ranch in Big Bend National Park, we hiked up the nearby wash so that my wife could look for rocks, one of her favorite occupations. She did not take any with her since that is illegal in the national parks but we had a nice meander toward Ward Mountain.

On the second full day of our stay in Big Bend National Park, we followed the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive along the west side of the park, stopping and hiking at various places.

The photo was taken out the window of the house in which Mr. Wilson once lived and up the wash that runs near the house to Ward Mountain.
