Painting vs Photo of #BigBendNationalPark? The photo of #EmoryPeak in #ChisosMountains was taken by me, and the painting was done by #KathleenFrank, which is on exhibit at the #MuseumofBigBend in #Alpine, #TX.

Drove through the breathtaking Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park recently. The views were absolutely incredible! #BigBendNationalPark #ChisosMountains #TexasRoadTrip #ScenicDrive #MountainViews

The Casa Grande Peak washed in sunlight and surrounded by more of the Chisos Basin landscape of Big Bend National Park. Captured in a panoramic photo.

If you have not visited Big Bend before, I highly recommend planning a trip. Just make sure to go while it is cool out there!

Conquered the Chisos Mountain Loop in Big Bend National Park this past January! 17 miles, 3400ft elevation gain, and views for days. Laguna Meadows, South Rim, Boot Canyon - this hike has it all! #BigBend #ChisosMountains #Hiking #Texas

I still haven’t finished processing all the images I took at Big Bend four months ago. 😅

Hiked the Lost Mine Trail in Big! It was 4.8-mile climb, but the panoramic views of the Chisos from the top were breathtaking. A must-do if you're visiting Big Bend!

Sotols on the Dodson Trail

The Dodson Trail takes you up and down a range of low hills between the #ChisosMountains and the #SierraQuemada. It's the most-remote part of the #OuterMountainLoop in #BigBend #NationalPark.

It's eleven miles one-way, with no water in #desert.

Chisos Basin from Emory Peak Panorama from (roughly) south to north on the west, seen from the summit of Emory Peak. Ward Mountain dominates the scene ahead, with Casa Grande on the right.

The #ChisosMountains are the most popular #backpacking destination in #BigBend. When you reach the high country, be sure to stash your pack and take a side trip up #Emory Peak.

The Chisos will support a weekend trip; we continued to the #OuterLoop.
