Sam Nail Ranch Loop is a quick loop hike in Big Bend National Park. The parking area is on the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive with parking just off the road. It was a short 0.62 km (0.39 miles) loop that took about 12 minutes. This photo essay is the sixth post and the shortest hike in the Big Bend National Park Series.
