Big Bend National Park
Big Bend National Park
Written by: Joel Nick Patoski
Photographs by: Laurence Parent
"Big Bend National Park is one of the few places left in America where a person can literally get away from it all. Nestled in the great bend of the Rio Grande that forms one of the most distinctive features of the silhouette of Texas, the park is several hundred miles from any large city. Within its 1,250 square miles of mountains, canyons, desert, and river, Big Bend National Park offers visitors respite from the stresses of urban living-a place for taking stock and charting new courses. That's one reason why many people return to the park year after year. This book is the first and only comprehensive photographic and word portrait of Big Bend National Park."
