Photo by @Spono. As summer comes to a close what's better than sitting in 105° in the middle of the desert? Soaking in 105° water, in 105°, in the middle of the desert of course! Nothing better than a good #hotsprings, only about a quarter mile trail to get to in #BigBendNationalPark, #Texas. Originally a bathhouse constructed in 1909, it's now just the foundation nestled up to the flowing #RioGrande river, that was honestly probably more refreshingly cold than a hot spring, but why not. #nationalparkstour #nationalparks #findyourpark #NPS100 #travel #adventure #roadtrip #outdoors
