These are some shots of Big Bend National Park in south Texas, I took these shots on my last visit right before I moved north to Illinois. It's without a doubt some of the roughest terrain, hottest and one of the most gorgeous and quiet places I've ever seen with terrific views of the border and the Rio Grande. Not many people get to visit it since it's in such a remote area of the state so I thought I would share ;D

Re: Big Bend National Park

I always wanted to go to that park, even had one trip planned there but had to cancel :(. Great pics and thanks for sharing :)
 

Re: Big Bend National Park

Great pics! :thumbsup:

Love the desert. Did you, by chance, see the hot springs in that area?

Yep, spent years exploring this area, I've got a ton of photos of various places here, I'll find my cd's with my other photos and post them up :wink:
 

Re: Big Bend National Park

Here's a few more shots, these are the hot springs, the road to the hot springs, one of the remaining buildings of the hot springs village, and a shot of the Rio Grande. The cliffs in the distance are the border to Mexico. I'll dig some more up soon :wink:
The last one I have in much larger size, had to shrink it down for posting here. If anyone wants a bigger version for a wallpaper I'm happy to share ;D

That last pic is outstanding. Love the contrast between light and shadow.

Thanks again

Nice pics!

I've heard of the Big Bend, but never got the chance to go there...

Nightwolf,
Wow, that is some beautiful and rugged looking country. Really like those red mountains in the last pic. Thanks for sharing.

My friend and I are planing on a trip down there next month on our dual sport treasure hunting bikes. Will be getting lots of pics. too. :thumbsup: You can bet ill be prospecting up in those mountains. We live about two hour's north of there.
 

When you go pay attention for those beware of mountain lion signs, they will jump out on the trails at you :wink:
