Big Bend National Park turns 75 in 2019, and Texas Highways has scheduled a weekend of guided hikes, photography tips, and a star party to celebrate this larger-than-life Lone Star treasure with 50 of its readers.
In cooperation with Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Conservancy, Texas Highways has created a special ranger-led itinerary that’ll have you falling in love with the park. And the timing is right for romance, since the event is Feb. 8 -10, the weekend before Valentine’s Day.
Professional and amateur photographers will have much to fall for, too, as the hikes feature award-winning, West Texas-based photographer E. Dan Klepper. A regular contributor to Texas Highways, Klepper joins the group to share photo-taking tips that will improve those memories captured over the weekend and going forward.
