This is Grapevine Hills in Big Bend National Park, Texas. You have to drive 7.5 miles on an extremely bumpy road that requires a high clearance vehicle or 4 wheel drive. It took a lot longer than expected because you have to drive so slowly. That’s why I always like to leave early for the sunset shoot – you just never know what is going to try to stand in your way! The trail you can see in the valley is the trail we hiked out to get to balanced rock from yesterday’s post.

This is one of the best pictures of Big Bend I’ve ever seen! Very nice! Was this taken at sunrise or sunset?
Hi Brent, this was taken at sunset. Thanks for your visit and comments.
Cool! I just got back from Big Bend and went to this spot at sunrise. It was amazing at that time too 🙂
Wonderful shot, it’s seem need a great effort to get there…
Thank you Imamtho, it was hard to get to but worth the effort.
Wow, what a breathtaking scene Anne! Awesome detail and color, thanks for taking us there.
Hi Jay, Sorry for the late reply, I have had very limited internet access lately. Thank you very much for your comments on the Grapevine Hills image. It was an amazing scene to behold! I’m glad I did it justice. It was one of my favourite places in Big Bend.
What an absolutely gorgeous scene, Anne!
Beautiful shot, Anne. The overall tone is very nice. Dramatic and peaceful at the same time. Great work.
Very nice, Anne. Great exposure(s). Looks illustrative more than photographic. Looking forward to your new book.
Amazing shot! Reminds me of Mars!
Anne,
I posted that this is one of the best images I’ve seen from the
Bid Bend area………well done !
Wow…stunning! I am traveling through some rocky mountains too for the past few days…I look forward to sharing some of those. Nothing quite as spectacular as this though 🙂
Super view through to those distant hills and wonderful evening light.
What a beautiful image, no words needed!
