Day 6

Another day of scenic hiking here at Big Bend National Park. We got a little earlier start this morning and were on the road by 9:00 to our first hike of the day to go see the "Balanced Rock" on Grapevine Hills Trail which, was a nice 2.2 mi. hike with the last .25 mile being a steep hike to reach our destination of the "Balanced Rock" Pretty amazing to see, we were the only ones on this trail this morning, so peaceful and serene. Loved it!
Next we headed to Lost Mine Trail starting elevation was 6000 with a top elevation of 7500, the hike was a challenging 4.8 roundtrip hike however, the views always make it worth it. Once we made it to the top it felt like you could see for miles and were on top of the world. Quite a feeling!
Tomorrow we will be hooking up and heading out to another RV Park (Rio Grande Village) which is on the east side of the park. We plan to stay here for a couple of days and take a little boat ride across the Rio Grande to Mexico to visit Boquillas. Should be pretty cool! Wish us luck in Mexico and hopefully, we don't get kidnapped...however, we will be calling you all if we do to collect ransom haha!
