| Balanced Rock |
In the past few weeks we've had the opportunity to hike many trails and take many scenic drives through Big Bend. One of the most beautiful trails we recently hiked was the Grapevine Hills trail that leads out to a feature called balanced rock. You will see why it is so named when you look at the photographs.
This particular hike we did after a work day in the Visitor Center. We got out to the trail about 5:15pm and it was a bright, clear, warm day with a slight breeze. The hike is fairly mild, through a canyon surrounded by endless piles and formations of rocks that have broken from the surrounding hills over the centuries and rolled down the slopes, settling on the hillsides and in the canyons, sometimes tumbling on top of each other. Here are some photos from the fantastic hike.
