It was green like we have never seen the desert before. And we had a great time. It was neither too cold now too warm. The Chisos Basin Campground was nearly full, but the park was not at all crowded. On two different days we drove down old dirt roads for hours without seeing another human being.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
