Big Bend Ranch State Park has some wonderful hiking opportunities, including some treks to water. Even in the desert, even during a drought, the Ojito Adentro trail delivers a surprise after a stroll through flatland with prickly pear, a scramble over rocks, to a cottonwood covered streambed. And then...more scrambling over rocks to a lovely pool area covered with ferns!
The trailhead (top photo) is about halfway on the road to the center of the park, the road to Sauceda Ranch. When you park your car, you can see your destination...the green of the cottonwood trees in the distance gives you just a hint as to what's greeting you at the end of the trail!
