Big Bend national park

Before heading to New Mexico we decided to take a detour for a couple of days to the Big Bend national park. We took a couple of 2-3 mile long hiking trails to get some amazing views and pictures. We really wanted to see a bear but without any luck, even though there had been a couple of bears in the campground in the morning before we arrived. Just our luck. There were also warnings for mountain lions which I am really glad that we did not see. The only big animal we met was a couple of deers. However, we did get to see a rattle snake up close that rattled as soon as it heard us to let us know we should not get closer.
