On a recent trip to West Texas for a memorial service for my Father, my brother and I took a few extra days to expose our families to the vastness of West Texas and the home of their Grandfather. Join us as we take them to see some of the sights that is WEST TEXAS.

Santa Elena Canyon is located on the most Western part of the Big Bend National Park and is about a 40 minute drive from the Chisos Basin. The hike into the canyon is relatively easy but the lack of a breeze and the sweltering heat from the low lying area was stifling.

While staying in Big Bend National Park, we elected to stay in the Chisos Lodge located in the Chisos Basin. Temperatures in low lying lands in the park can reach into the 100's F during the summer. But you can count on a temperature differential of at least 10 degrees or more when in the higher elevations of the Chisos. Granted summer is not the best time to visit the park but schedules some times can't be altered. The best times to visit the park are in the Fall and Spring.

Good news! After reviewing your dispute, TuneCore has decided to release their copyright claim on your YouTube video.

Big Bend National Park - Santa Elena Canyon, Castolon, La Harmonia Store

We spent a few hours (not long enough ) driving through Big Bend National Park. During our drive we hiked the Santa Elena Canyon trail. So beautiful. We stopped at a few other spots of notable mention on our way out. Leave no doubt, we will be back to cover more ground. We hope you enjoy this little window into what this place has to offer.

Information below is from the National Parks website. See link below.
La Harmonia Store
From 1902 until the establishment of the park in 1944, it served, though not always by virtue of legal designation, as consulate, sheriffs' department, notary public, bank, and a source of medical, hardware, and ranch supplies in northern Mexico and the southern Big Bend.
In 1901, Cipriano Hernandez had the idea of farming the fertile floodplain around Castolon and selling his produce to the miners in Terlingua, just up the creek. The east end of the rambling adobe building now known as the Alvino House was the original Castolon store, where Hernandez vended his melons, pumpkins, squash, and beans. In 1914, he sold the property to Clyde Buttrill, who hired James Sublett to manage the farm and store. Sublett and his family moved into the house, and later moved the store into larger building located across from Cottonwood Campground at Old Castolon.
Alvino House
In addition to the store, Castolon includes the oldest known adobe structure in Big Bend National Park (the Alvino House), another store building (Old Castolon), and numerous adobe ruins that were once homes for the many Mexican American and Anglo families that lived in the area. There are two cemeteries in the Castolon area.

In this video, we venture out from BJ's RV park and hike the Santa Elena Canyon. We took the short route down Old Maverick Road, just past the entrance station. Old Maverick is 14 miles of dirt road and it cost us a tire.

It was worth it! What a spectacular hike!

After that we stopped for dinner at the unique La Kiva restaurant in Terlingua, TX. Very cool place with decent food , but the service was OK, at best.

It was a great day!

Big Bend National Park back country hiking - South Rim and Santa Elena Canyon

Be sure to like and subscribe.

Our first trip to Big Bend National park and our first time doing some back country hiking. Needless to say we loved everything about it. I am still learning how to use the gopro so my resolution wasn't the greatest and the video is a little shaky. I didn't realize my lens was dirty in the beginning too. If you have any suggestions please let me know how to improve the quality. Next time I will use a higher resolution and frame rate.

We hiked the south rim trail and stayed two night in the Chisos mountains. The trail is beautiful everywhere. The weather was great during this time of year. I am looking forward to going back in the fall. Here is a list of some of the items we used on this trip. The backpacks are good for the money but now that we know we want to do more backpacking we will look into getting some Osprey packs for later trips and give these to our kids. Let me know if you have any questions.

Santa Elena Canyon Trail, Big Bend National Park

Almost an hour drive from our campsite in the Rio Grand Vally. after arriving we walked through a very sandy area with a wooden path, then over the smooth rocks from the river finally up, almost straight up the cliffs. The trail zig zagged for about 10 minutes as we climbed up to almost the top of the mountain. then we had a gental decent following along the inside of the canyon walls. at the end we met a family from San Antonio, they were very nice and even helped us get some video of all of us together. The kids enjoyed echoes and playing in the water and mud.
