I don’t have a photo and don’t have a story but I have interest of conserving this park, that I’m planning to visit with my family for the first time next year, because Texas is for me, with strong heart, home and family and family is worth to protect. I know that there are other amazing parks in our nation and they also merit to be preserved for our future generations. I want to belong to the group of citizens that wanted to keep our parks as pristine and healthy as possible. God bless USA for its beauty and its people that love this great country.
Sincerely,
Big Bend National Park
Big Bend National Park features broad expanses of Chihuahuan Desert shrubland and grassland interspersed with smaller areas of high-elevation woodland in the Chisos Mountains. Rugged rocks and deep canyons along the Rio Grande are among the park's most striking features; wetlands and springs add to the park's biological diversity. Visitors can explore the rugged trails, seek out the colorful array of birds and wildflowers, and spread out on a blanket after dark enjoying some of the darkest night skies in the country.
