Chisos Basin is Next on the List
Chisos Basin is Next on the List, The Chisos Basin Campground is nestled in an open woodland within a scenic mountain basin. Campers enjoy the iconic views of Casa Grande and Emory Peak. The sunset through the nearby “Window” is a Big Bend highlight. Some of the park’s most popular trails begin nearby. Elevation is 5,400 feet.

This area here was quite a surprise. We were camping down below at 1800 ft. elevation and it was very hot down there. We begin the drive up to the Chisos Basin and the temperature cooled off right away and the landscape was completely different.
Pine trees and lush green grasses and signs everywhere that this is the home to mountain lions and bear. Obviously they like the higher elevation as well.
So, Big Bend has such a variety of landscapes, wildlife and activity. I highly recommend this place if you have not been here.
These are the top three places people like to see, Chisos Basin, Santa Elena Canyon and Ernst Tinaja. But there is so much more to this 800,000 acre park that one will never see all of it in one visit. I have more photos coming up of this beautiful place to come.

You saw a wide variety of landscapes, animals and birds on this trip … a little of everything!
Yes, it sure is fun to go back and look at all the photos again also 🙂
I love seeing Big Bend from your perspective. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much 😊
What a wonderful place! Wild and rich in animals and plants.
Yes , a little bit of everything. 😊
Linda was just mentioning to me how many birds they have on their resident list there – likely due to the size and elevation differences. Definitely on the list for our next visit.
Yes, we were a little early for a lot of the birds so I was glad to at least see the vermillion.
Thank you once again for allowing us to see this place, Sandra. These are great photographs. I was there many years ago. It is interesting how we can go up in elevation and the landscape becomes more beneficial and comfortable. There’s a lesson there somewhere. Blessings
Yes, I love lessons like that. Behind everything we see and do there is another meaning that can touch our hearts and minds. We never stop learning. 😊
💙💙🧡🧡🙏
Thank you very much Francine 😊
The journey is full of challenges, I like the beautiful panorama of Nature
So true, thank you.
Thanks for giving us the chance to get a glimps of these wonderful places by means of your blog, your pictures and last but not least your videos. Have a nice trip Sandra.
You are very welcome, it sure is an amazing place. I had never even heard of this park until this year. 😊
