Big Bend Texas at a Glance
Sandwiched between Mexico and New
Mexico, Big Bend Texas integrates Hispanic culture into the American mix.
The Pecos
and the Rio
Grande rivers are just two of the natural attractions that abound in this
part of the state, the latter forming a natural border between Texas
and Mexico. In Big
Bend National Park, one of the largest national parks in the United
States, guests are able to hike, float on commercial float trips on the Rio
Grande, camp and birdwatch. The largest center in the region is El
Paso, a city that provides easy access to its sister city of Juarez, Mexico.
While in El Paso visit Fort
Bliss, the Ysleta,
Socorro
and San
Elizario missions, and the El
Paso Museum of Art. Other areas of interest in Big Bend Texas include the
Amistad
National Recreation Area, Guadalupe
Mountains National Park and the city of Del
Rio.
