    In this YETI Presents video, wildlife photographer Wyman Meinzer shares stories of his passion for the outdoors from his time as an avid outdoorsman in the Texas Badlands. Laying down his rifle in favor of a digital camera, he is now the official photographer for the Lone Star State and a Texas wildlife conservationist. Wyman captures the dig-your-heels-in determination and appreciation for the land that can only be found in those that call Texas home.

    Does anyone know where in Texas this is? My wife is from Dallas and when we back to see her family I always talk about going hiking and camping there. I want to take her brother in law to Bend National Park and get him out of the city. and people say its to far away from Dallas but I don't really care, we could fly if need be. I too love the open land.

      @cameraman655 Před 5 lety

      Big Bend is one of the most remote US National Parks, located in Southwest Texas, on the US/Mexico Border. It is also one of the least visited and my personal favorite. Be warned, the Summers are brutal out there and there is very little civilization around (which is why it is so appealing). The closest commercial airports are in Midland/Odessa (3-hour drive) and El Paso (4-hour drive)
