Big Bend Ranch State Park
Big Bend Ranch State Park is 10 miles outside of Presidio and yes it is a working ranch — they run cattle on it and you can stay at the ranch and help out during the cattle drive .... for a fee of course. It is about 25 miles from the main gate to the last view point on the main road and it takes about 1 hour to drive it — the speed limit is 25 mph and you really don’t want to drive any faster. Along the way you can hike to a spring and waterfall (need rain to see the waterfall), hike to Cinco Tinajas (Ed counted seven), stop and enjoy some great views and stop at the ranch house and check it out. The ranch house was about 20 miles in from the gate so they probably don’t get many unexpected guests.
This area called Las Cuevas is full of caves.
Hey Zaph, whose hiding in the bushes?
Don't want to tangle with this Texas Longhorn!
Interesting rock formations.
Zaph and I enjoying the view.
And this is what we're looking at .... the Cinco Tinajas.
The ranch house.
This area is called Solitario and is very interesting geologically speaking
