The Window

This is the narrow gap through which all the water that falls in the Chisos Basin exits. The Chisos Basin lies in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park and is one of the most popular parts of the park. We hiked the narrow canyon that leads to the Window when in Big Bend earlier in the year, something that can be done only when it is dry. We did not get close enough to get photos from the edge of the gap since the area is somewhat dangerous, but beyond the gap is a sheer cliff down which the water falls.
