We’re excited to share two more spectacular views from our
guest photographer, Dennis McElveen from his recent trip to Big Bend National Park. Santa
Elena Canyon
is one of the most photographed places in the park, and Dennis captured the area
beautifully.
Dennis shares, “You can see the distant storm in the boiling clouds above Santa Elena canyon. The thunder was rumbling, bouncing off the walls of the canyon making it even more awe-inspiring and giving one a sense of wonderment about traveling/floating in the canyon. “

This trail
leads into the stunning Santa Elena Canyon.
After crossing Terlingua Creek, the trail ascends on paved steps to a vista,
then descends back to the water's edge, continuing into the canyon until the
canyon walls meet the water. A Big Bend
classic. Trail is impassable when Terlingua Creek floods.
