Aloha Everyone,
The Big Bend National Park is our 36th out of 59 national parks. The name “Big Bend” refers to the Rio Grande river where it makes an U-turn creating the boundary between the United States (Texas) and Mexico. In addition to Rio Grande, one of the best features of Big Bend NP is Santa Elena Canyon, 1/2 is in the USA and other half in Mexico. The park is perfect for hiking, backcountry exploration and river running.

Tonight we are staying at an RV Park in Marathon. A railroad track runs right along the park. Perhaps my driving 2 plus hours this morning was fatiguing enough for me to sleep through the many trains’ whistling sound.
