Across the Desert

Cerro Castellan and the Sierra Ponce as seen across the desert from Maverick.

The 1500 ft tall wall of the Sierra Ponce are visible for miles across the desert in Big Bend. Cerro Castellan is also a well known and easily spotted landmark.

Both are usually shown from the area around Santa Elena Canyon. This view is a bit different. It is in the predawn light looking south from Maverick towards Mexico. Cerro Castellan must be 12 miles as the crow flies and is some 35 miles by road.
