This was my first time to visit this preserve, but I was guided by two fellow plant nerds who knew where all of the "goodies" were.

Chinati Mountains

January 12, 2015 by Travis Ward in Plant Hunt, Big Bend

The Big Bend area of the Chihuahuan Desert in Texas probably my favorite region to visit given its diverse botany, topography, and ecology. In October 2013 with the assistance of a botanist who is well-versed in the plants of the area, a coworker and I were able to visit the flora-rich Chinati Mountains in Presidio County, Texas.
