\nChisos Basin Road was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930’s.
\nFrom the NPS website: "In the early 1930s, the CCC built an all-weather access road into the Chisos Mountains Basin. They surveyed and built the seven-mile road using only picks, shovels, rakes, and a dump truck, which they loaded by hand. They scraped, dug, and blasted 10,000 truck loads of earth and rock and constructed 17 stone culverts, still in use today along the Basin road."<\/p>\n

Big Bend National Park is named for the sweeping bend of the Rio Grande River along the United States – Mexico border in southwest Texas. It is a remote land of beautiful and stark scenery. The Chihuahuan desert dominates the landscape, the Chisos Mountains rise above like an island, and the Rio Grande River flows gently through this outstanding National Park. <\/p>\n
