Looking south on route 118. Literally nothing for 80 miles from Alpine, Texas to Terlingua, Texas. Nothing.
Dying cacti?
About a mile up along the Lost Mine Trail.

Sotol Vista - looking towards Mexico, the Rio Grande, and Santa Elena Canyon. At a distance, the scale of the small gap is not apparent. At the gorge, limestone walls tower 1500 feet above the river.

Heading down from the vista point.
Heading down the vista point, I wanted to capture the moon.
Tuff Canyon
There were these beautiful blue flowers along the roads, but I finally got to take photos at Tuff Canyon.
View from the Castolon Historic District - Santa Elena Canyon in the distance, Garlick House in the foreground.

Santa Elena Canyon/Rio Grande
About a mile into the trail that takes you along the canyon.
Figured with that split in the rock Alex Honnold would have no problem climbing this.
Out of the park and heading back through Terlingua. Saw this on the way down, so hit it up and got my mom a souvenir on the way back!
Back to nothing…trying to get home before dark.
