The
Big Bend
of Texas is so named by the huge northeast
curve of the Rio Grande in the southwest corner of the state. It is one
of the most remote and wildly beautiful regions in the continental
US. It is a country overflowing with history, mystery,
and adventure; best described as many thousands of square miles of lofty
peaks, vast plains, and
rugged canyons. Over one million acres of publicly accessible
wilderness vacation country attracts visitors from all over the world.
Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and surrounding communities
offer activities like hiking, camping, river running, horse riding, mountain
bicycling, jeep touring, sightseeing, and simply experiencing a level of
peace and quiet that is rarely found today. |
