Big Bend, United States
Big Bend National Park occupies 801,163 acres of southwestern Texas where the Rio Grande makes a sweeping turn along the Mexican border. The park encompasses three distinct environments: the Chisos Mountains rising to 7,832 feet, the Chihuahuan Desert lowlands, and the deep limestone canyons of the Rio Grande. Its remoteness — the nearest city is over 300 miles away — makes it one of the least visited and most pristine parks in the system.
