An interesting view from the road leading south into the heart of Big Bend National Park, taken during this middle of the wildfire season last spring. The smoke you see is from the uncontrolled wildfires throughout Northern Mexico last year. Much of this smoke drifted North hundreds of miles and blanketed southwest Texas for several months last year. Thank goodness this year is starting out cold and wet!
