About This Trail
The Big Bend Ranching example was from the early 1900's. It is an easy trail to follow through the old homestead of Jim and Sam Nail and Nena. There are some interesting historic remnants here, including the adobe walls of the house and two windmills. This is a great place to view birds and wildlife.
