12. big bend national park

Hi,

The Lost Mine Trail in Big Bend NP is a favorite of mine. I have seen a variety of wildlife on this trail: javelina, Mexican black bears, foxes having fun & white tail deer. The views of Casa Grande are great & once you make it to the top it is wonderful. Big Bend National park has one of the lowest attendances in the lower 48. It is a geologic wonder & the best time to go is in the Fall to March, after March & April, that Texas heat is scorching.

Another great place is Arches National park in Utah, you can't go wrong there. It is a place of beauty.
One other place in Utah that is fun is Goblin valley state park. They filmed parts of that Tim Allen space movie & one of Billy Crystal's western movies there. It is a great place.
