As we travel into the month of July, one of the hottest months of the year and a time of family vacations, try and take in this beauty of a national park in the wild Southwest of Texas. Luckily, the Rio Grande River runs through the park to keep things cooler, as the weather can be scorching this time of year. (Perhaps plan to visit in the winter months?) For this reason, most wildlife stay quiet during the day. However, I took pictures of a wild javelina I saw at dusk once in the campground. Come prepared for any travel to this rugged part of the country, as shops are few and far between. If you do go, be assured that you will feel a part of the legendary desert southwest of TV and film.
