Big Bend ~ Window View Trail
The trail runs from the Chisos Mountain Lodge and Ranger Station parking lot back to the campground. Desert plants, wildlife and long vistas hold the hiker's interest. Ward Mountain, top left, rises to the west. The Window area, above, framed by Carter Peak on its left and Vernon Baily Mountain on its right, looks slightly northwest. A graceful cactus gradually changes from green to red, a common sight in the Chisos Basin and Mountains. All images are scanned 35mm slides.
