Closed Canyon

Closed Canyon is a narrow canyon found in Big Bend Ranch State Park. The rock is reddish. The walls are high. The canyon is sometimes 15-20 feet across. It looks more like something you would find in Utah rather than Texas.

It is a great hike anytime but especially cool on a hot day. It is also a great place for the sleep in photographer as the best photography light is closer to mid day.

One morning I photographed the sunrise in Big Bend National Park, caught breakfast, and then went over to hike Closed Canyon in the mid day.

Normally I put the cameras away between 9am and 4pm, but with the reflected light bouncing off the canyon walls opened up new daytime photo possibilities.

I liked this place so much, I made a second trip back the next day. Go see it. It is that neat.
