Big Bend Sky
Reprocessed photo from the archives. The Chisos Mountains, located in the center of Big Bend National Park, present a wall of near vertical rock almost all the way around their edge. This view is from the southwest of the Chisos, looking toward the northeast. The road visible in the photo is called the Ross Maxwell Scenic Highway, and it runs down to the Rio Grande River and Santa Elena Canyon.
