IMG_20180313_185327 Closed Canyon

R, Ray and E about halfway down the Closed Canyon in the Big Bend Ranch State Park. The ground is covered with sand or fine pebbles in some places, and is solid (igneous) rock in other places. The canyon was formed when a seasonal stream flowing from the desert into Rio Grande wore down a path through the rock. It is an easy hike until the end, where there a few steep drops that require rock-climbing equipment to get past. We didn't go that far.
