For our first ever Thanksgiving away from our families, Alyssa and I took the long weekend to drive to the opposite side of Texas and visit one of my favorite places I've ever been

The shade offered by the canyon walls and riparian trees offer some of the few areas explorable during the heat of the day outside of the more popular Chisos Basin trails.
