Stopping along the River Road of Big Bend Ranch State Park

Marker along the trail to Closed Canyon.
Our car couldn't handle the rough road to the interior of Big Bend Ranch State Park. However there are trailheads along the River Road/FM 170 from Lajitas to Presidio.

The trail to Closed Canyon is a nice walk and the temperature drops about 10 degrees when you get inside the canyon.

The view from just inside Closed Canyon, which may look familiar if you saw the last scene of Boyhood.
A few feet along the Cerro de las Burras Loop, you can see a rock formation that looks like a skeleton head. It is easily accessible.
Yep, there are lots of rocks. This one was along the Hoodoos trail.

The wildflowers were blooming in mid April.
And the cactus flowers were an extra treat.
