Well, The Texanist, your pen has stirred the pot down in Big Bend. ✍️We might not have the highest peaks, but we’ve got depth in spades—canyons deep, skies vast, and a river that’s crossed more tales than any trail up north. So before you crown your champion of parks, why not take a wander through ours one more time? We’ve got a sunset at Santa Elena waiting for you! 🌅

Meet Big Bend's speedy resident, the Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus)! More than just a cartoon character, this real-life bird is known for its incredible running speed, clocking up to 20 mph to sn**ch up prey. These birds are also fierce, sometimes taking on rattlesnakes! Always a sight to behold, their agility and zest make them one of the desert’s most fascinating creatures.

"It was hard to believe Texas had “real” mountains until, in the most spiritual experience I’ve ever had in a state where churches sit on every corner, I saw them rising gloriously out of the desert in Big Bend National Park."

Imagine looking up and seeing the entire Milky Way stretched across the night sky. It used to be a common sight for everyone, but today, light pollution has erased that wonder for most of us.
At places like Big Bend, where Dark Skies still shine, you can experience the universe as it was meant to be seen. But light pollution doesn’t just affect our stargazing—it severely impacts wildlife. Bats, frogs, owls, and birds all depend on the night for hunting and navigating, but bright city lights confuse them, disrupting their survival. Millions of birds die each year from flying into illuminated buildings.
We all have a role to play in reducing light pollution: turn off unnecessary lights, draw your curtains, and advocate for improved city lighting regulations. Let’s give the night—and its inhabitants—a chance to flourish. 📸 Credit: .

Friendly reminder: You’re not a cactus, so don’t try to live like one! 🌵 When you’re out hiking in Big Bend, chug that H2O like it’s your job. The National Park Service recommends 1 quart per hour, but hey, who’s counting? Stay safe, hydrated, and let’s leave the desert vibes to the cacti, y’all! 📸 .me
