Burro mesa pouroff trail, Big Bend NP

Howdee all,

Our last Big Bend hike of our visit…

3-29-2010

Burro Mesa Pouroff trail

I mile round trip

Difficulty- Easy

……………………………………….

  The trail starts by winding  thru a sandy gravely wash…

I suppose this looks very different after some rain.

LASt day big bend_054 Lots of cactus and scrub here..LASt day big bend_055 The trail leaves the wash and travels to the right of the wash..LASt day big bend_056Unidentified flycatcher..Any ideas?   LASt day big bend_058 LASt day big bend_061This is a dry wash most of the year but contains a large amount of water when there are rains on Burro Mesa.  LASt day big bend_062 You cant see the pouroff until you get fairly close to it.

It was a hot day and it felt great to get in the shadow of the pouroff.

LASt day big bend_063 I would love to see what this pouroff looks like after a hard rain…

Must be a beautiful waterfall..

Jeff looks tiny compared to the high rock wall…LASt day big bend_065 Remember to bring plenty of water..especially on a hot day..

The temps in Big Bend are starting to climb..when we did the hike it was in the 90s..LASt day big bend_068A few critters we met along the way..

Check out the pink and bright green on this one..  LASt day big bend_070  I think these are different..but not sure..the first one was larger..LASt day big bend_072     I rather liked this prickly pear cactus without the large thorns.. LASt day big bend_081Another great hike in Big bend…and our last one..

Until we visit again..LASt day big bend_074I know we will…We really enjoyed our stay.

Goodbye for now Big Bend..♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
