Yes, I am back!
If you live in Texas and have never visited Big Bend National Park, then shame on you. I’m just kidding but you’d be surprised by how many folks have never driven farther west than Del Rio and never seen the beauty of the Big Bend region. “Big Bend” is named for the curve of the Rio Grande in the remote corner of southwest Texas. It is a wildly beautiful region with unique geology and a fascinating history. Over one million acres of public land including Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park offer hiking, camping, river running, horse riding, mountain bicycling, jeep touring and thousands of photographic opportunities on paved and back-country roads. What more could a landscape photographer ask for?
