Rusty, Cindy and I hiked to Balance Rock in the Big Bend National Park. The hike was about 1 mile each way with the last 2 tenths pretty much of a rock scramble. Cindy did really well but it was a challenge. At the top a young women - who also had to tell three “older” people where the trail was took our photo, not sure what happened to the settings but this is what we got and we are appreciative of the memory. The most difficult park was on the 6 mile Grapevine “improved” dirt road. We will allow the park service their definition of improved but I will suggest it does not align with my definition. The 12 mile out and back took about 90 minutes.
