Big Bend National Park














This park is one of the largest U.S. National Parks (800,000 acres) and yet the least visited. It's name refers to the U-turn the Rio Grande River takes along the park's 118 mile southern Texas border. Santa Elena Canyon (pictured) north wall is in the U.S., while the south canyon wall towers above Mexico. Our drive provided miles and miles of magnificent vistas of varied rock formations in the Chisos Mountain range.
