After months of planning and anticipation we finally arrived at Big Bend National Park today!
We had heard so much about Big Bend National Park and had seen pictures and read descriptions and other people's blogs, but nothing had prepared us for the sheer grandeur that we saw as we traveled the 29 miles from the entrance at Parsimmon Gap to the Panther Junction Visitor Center.
