Big Bend National Park: Inspiration on Instagram

“Big Bend National park is preserved, protected,
and almost as wild as the day it was made.
It’s the essence of Texas as we like to think of it
— a gift to Texas and a gift to the nation.”

~ a dear quote I love from Big Bend National Park Impressions (Farcountry Press).

Another popular capture is the tunnel at BBNP. It is the very first highway tunnel to be built in Texas. How about this view taken above the tunnel. . .

Always be prepared for the unexpected in the desert.

Which is also a perfect time for some desert drama . . .

You have to end the day with a sunset. And this one made me look twice . . .

Gorgeous! We lived in Texas for a couple years and I really wanted to go here, but we were never able to make it. 🙁

  Its understandable. Big Bend is a BIG trip to make. Not a convenient stop by any means. You fly and then drive for hours and hours. I live here and it takes me hours to get anywhere. Its a beautiful number of hours, but everything takes a nice long day or two. We’re still here if you ever decide to fly back and drive around for a week or so. 😉
