Boquillas Burros, Rocks, and Desert Flora - Big Bend National Park

While on the Boquillas Canyon Road near Rio Grande Village, we saw three wild burros grazing beside the road. After stopping to get a couple of pictures, we drove to the deserted trailhead. On our return towards the main road, I stopped to get some pictures of the Sierra del Carmen and the desert plants knowing there were no vehicles behind us.
