Big Bend Ranch State Park: Window to the Ancients



The Big Bend of centuries past was a wild land of vast open space and nomadic tribes. While the space is still vast and the land is still wild, the nomads have long since gone. The closest that most of us will ever get to their lives is to visit their camp sites, to view their art, and to ponder their lives in silent wonder.

The petroglyphs and pictographs left on bare rock at provide a window to the ancients. You can arrange an interpretive tour at least seven days in advance. Call (432) 358-4444 to book a tour for your next visit!

Rock art has the power to connect us to the past in a special way. Connect with more rock art at other two parks in Big Bend Country with these stories from Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine:
