Terlingua Creek

Looking south along Terlingua Creek in Big Bend National Park. The Sierra Ponce wall is visible in the distance.

The shallow clear waters of Terlingua Creek flow south bound along the western edge of Big Bend NP joining up with the Rio Grande at the moth of Santa Elena Canyon.

For the most part the creek meanders as a small braided waterway over gravel and mud banks. At times the creek can fill and roar through here during the wet season, but it is normally just a small stream.
