Big Bend National Park, TX-Homer Wilson Ranch; Carousel Mountain Panorama
You're looking at an ultra-wide panorama that almost captures a north to south view of Blue Creek Canyon where the Homer Wilson Ranch is located (also know as the Blue Creek Ranch) just below Carousel Mountain (4,633 ft). At the bottom left you can see the trail down into the canyon where you may hike to get a closer look.
Wilson, born 1892 in Del Rio, Texas, studied petroleum engineering at the Missouri School of Mines and was a World War I veteran. When he established his ranch in 1929, it became one of the largest (28,000 acres) in the early twentieth century, in Texas and the most significant in Big Bend (4,000 sheep and 2,500 goats). In 1975, it was placed in the National Register of Historic Places.
