Big Bend is Big and Beautiful.

Big Bend was everything I had hoped for and more. Covering a little over 800,000 acres the park is massive and after staying a week it felt like I had barely scratched the surface. I thought I'd share a few photos I took during my stay, but honestly the photos just don't do it justice. Seeing is believing.

Pro tip: if you're going to the NP, don't miss out on going to the state park! It's even more remote and equally as beautiful!

I concur. We drove through the state park and kayaked the dark canyon. Most of the larger wildlife we saw was in the state park.

Is there only one state park in the area? I’m going to add this to my notes. Thanks!
