Description
The Window Trail in Big Bend National Park leads directly to the Window, a large rock canyon that cuts through the Chisos Mountains rim, allowing drainage from the Basin to the Chihuahuan Desert. The V-shaped Window frames panoramic desert views and forms a perfect silhouette for the colorful Big Bend sunsets; the hike itself offers excellent opportunities to view wildlife, plant life, and the fascinating geology of the Chisos Basin.
This particular image was not taken from the trail but from outside the restaurant of the Chisos Mountain Lodge. The tall spiked plants in the image are from the Sotol plant which is native to arid environments of northern Mexico, in the Chihuahua and Sonora deserts and in the southwestern United States. The alcoholic drink sotol, the northern cousin to tequila and mezcal, is made from the fermented inner cores of the desert spoon.
