  • Deep in the heart of Texas, lies a land of breathtaking beauty, where the Rio Grande, the Chihuahuan Desert and the Chisos Mountains come together to create a land of stunning contrasts. This is Big Bend National Park.
    A land of rugged terrain, where the forces of nature have carved out canyons and mountains, creating a landscape that is both wild and awe-inspiring. In this documentary, we will explore some of the best Big Bend has to offer, including:
    - Window Canyon Trail
    - Lost Mine Trail
    - History of Big Bend
    - Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive
    - Big Bend at Night: International Dark Sky
    - Tuff Canyon
    - Santa Elena Trail and the Rio Grande
    All filmed in 4K on Sony A74, DJI Mavic Air 2 (Outside of the national park boundaries where allowed), and DJI Osmos 2.

    You are truly creating something special and so unique that I needed after such a long and crazy day at work. I am very grateful because I got taken on a journey and emerged myself in such a present moment. I really believe I am not alone here who feels the same way, and I thank you again for it. Keep creating, :) wishing you all the best.

      What an incredibly nice thing to say! Sorry you had a rough day at work. We all have those days, sometimes it’s good for an escape like to a place like this.

    A few years ago I traveled from Minnesota and met another old friend from Texas to go to the Big Bend to attend the funeral of a dear childhood friend. After the ceremony we spent a full week of hiking and riding down the river. It was a an inspiring trip and could understand why our friend has settled in this local. We met many of his friends and enjoyed their company and their helpful advice of where to hike and borrowing a rubber raft to ride the river. A fond set of memories

    My first trip to Big Bend was on Sep 9, 2023. Went straight to Santa Elena Canyon and then to Chisos Basin on the way out. I would have to say its like stepping back in time for me. Such a great experience even though i didnt hike any trail except for Santa Elana Canyon trail which was only a mile or so round trip, but still rewarding. I plan on returning soon

    Such a peaceful feeling (except for the mud!). We are headed there in March for the first time in our 70 years of living but we're in shape! Thank you both for a trip before the trip!

    Great video! One huge thing I'd bring up is that you can see the inner arms of our Milky Way galaxy at night here, because Big Bend is one of the top 3 best places to view the stars.
    I came here just for the stars about a year ago, and had a great viewing spot with about 30 fellow star photographers at the St Elena trail

    Great video. And you even corrected your pronunciation of Rio Grande to the way we Texans say it, “grand”! Because it is!

    What an amazing video you have put together! Being content creators ourselves, we know the amount of work that must have gone into this and it shows. Really nice job both educating us and showing us your perspective of this national park in such a visually appealing way! We’ve subscribed and can’t wait to watch more!

    My English isn’t good but this was one of the most awe inspiring and captivating experiences I’ve had in along time my trip isn’t for months but you made me want to run out the door before it was even over

    Silly me, I just did Black Gap Road in my Jeep, got sidetracked with rescuing a fellow Jeep Wrangler that was stranded. Totally glad I was able to help them.
    Looking forward to returning soon with my son in April.

    Great video, very well done! I love Big Bend, take the 10 hour drive out there at least once a year for the last few years to hike and stargaze in Chisos Basin. Going back next week!

  • @David_a_journeyman_curmudgeon

    Well, I messed up syncing the comment with the super thank. Bros. You have it. I subbed within 10 minutes. Fantastic cinematography, flawless edit, relevant engaging narration, geographical reverence, well researched. This reeks with creativity and high end equipment savvy. You guys should be with Nat Geo. Cheers from Texas! I look forward to more.

    about 50 feet higher than the roof if the sears tower. With the spires, the sears is 200 feet taller than the canyon walls

  • @jcwandering-sharingourstory

    Great video, we were there last spring and enjoyed the visit although it was extremely hot. It's good to see some water in the Rio Grande, in our videos it's dry as a bone. Thanks for sharing.

      Yea this was from October. Going there in the summer I gotta imagine would be quite brutal. Glad you enjoyed it!

    I've been going out there since 1975. I tried to hike under the Window Trail but failed. I wanted to see what if anything has been thrown over. 🧐

    • @AlexynPhotoVideo
      @AlexynPhotoVideo  Před 23 dny

      Interesting idea for a hike! Would love to see this from the other side.

    • @acemurphy2
      @acemurphy2 Před 23 dny

      @AlexynPhotoVideo There is a trail that either goes there or comes really close. It's been around 20 years since I tried it. I had my 10 year old son & wife with me. Partially the reason I didn't continue. When you get into striking distance, there are thousands of rocks you must scramble over for quite some time. It reminded me of how the county uses large rocks near bridges to slow erosion. But on a much much larger scale.

    How safe is it to go alone or as a couple (with no survival skills xD) ?

    • @AlexynPhotoVideo
      @AlexynPhotoVideo  Před 8 měsíci

      Always better to go with a friend. It’s safe as long as you stay smart and prepare.

    Very nice video. BB is beautiful, but not for anyone who is "high maintenance".
