I want to make a quick Happy Earth Day blog with a photograph of one of the most beautiful vistas I have ever been lucky to see. I’m sure several out there have seen its vast greatness as well! This is about as deep as you can get without hiking in to Big Bend Ranch State Park, from Sauceda, one of the park’s primary attractions. Last year, the roads to Madrid Falls were brand new, and I thought I would take a trip down them to see where they led me.
Happy Earth Day! Be kind to her, she’s all we have!
