We showed up later in the afternoon to the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Alamo, Texas and didn’t realize just how big this place was. It is sad because it is quite a drive from where we are camping so I don’t know if we will make it back to explore some of the other trails.

If you collect National Park stickers and cancellations this cancels out two of them. Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge and the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The Annual National Park Pass gets you in for free.

There is a trolley tour that drives you around a seven mile loop that leaves at 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 2:00 pm. We missed that also by showing up after 3:00 pm. I might try to find a day when we can drive back down and be there early in the day.
