Description

My husband and I climbed the Lost Mine Trail in Big Bend National Park on a beautiful, crisp fall day in November 2015. It turned out to be a rather challenging trail for us as we are so used to walking on flat land here in Southeast Texas and not climbing up the side of a mountain! But we managed to make it up to the top and were very well rewarded with many spectacular views!

Casa Grande (spanish for "Big House") is located in the heart of Big Bend National Park, overshadowing the Chisos Mountain Campground and Visitors' center. The mountain is roughly a square in shape with rhyolite cliffs and flat topped summit. Prickly pear cacti are the dominant species on the summit plateau, with more variety in the valleys, but dominated by juniper trees.
