The Big Bend Country in Wide Screen



The Big Bend country is wide screen country. It is the perfect place to truly make a big image. It is also the kind of place John Ford would have loved to use as a movie set.

Here is a big wide view. It is taken just off the road between Lajitas and Terlingua and takes in the western side of Big Bend National Park. You can see the Chisos in the middle left distance. You can see the volcanic activity that left Cerro Castolon. You can see the Sierra Ponce in which Santa Elena Canyon is carved where the Rio Grande has cut through the Ponce wall.

Be sure to click for the full sized image so you can take in the big country.
