Moonrise Over the Sierra Del Carmen

The Sierra Del Carmen range is visible all across the eastern part of Big Bend National Park. By the time one gets to Rio Grande Village, the Carmens are the major visible landmark that tower to the east.

These mountains are actually in Mexico. They are part of a range that is called the Dead Horse Mountains in the United States after crossing the Rio at Boquillas Canyon the range rises to new heights in Mexico and takes on a new name.

This is the view from near Rio Grande Village.
