Trans-Pecos

Around 8 o’clock in the morning on November 19 we headed west from Austin and by the middle of the afternoon we found ourselves in the part of Texas known as the Trans-Pecos because it’s beyond the Pecos River (with respect to parts of the state farther east, where most of the people live). Places that we visited for the first time since 2005 include Fort Davis and the Davis Mountains, Alpine, Terlingua, and Big Bend National Park. Over the next few weeks you’ll be seeing pictures taken on that five-day trip, beginning with today’s wispy and sandy view from November 22 in the western part of Big Bend National Park.
