I want to use my story time to give a big shout out to the NPS and NPCA for the work they do to protect and explain our national parks. Special thank you to NPS rangers and staff for helping the public to appreciate and understand the park system, and for protecting this special heritage of our great country. I thank you and support you during this, hopefully short, rough time!
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.
