Overview

Many say there are no mountains in Texas. Many say there are no majestic views in Texas. They’re all wrong. Even most Texas residents are unaware of the beauty that awaits them in Big Bend Ranch State Park, but even fewer are aware of the awe-inspiring views from atop Guale Mesa, at the end of Guale Road. Reminiscent of views the likes of Top Of The World in Utah, the view from atop Guale Mesa is nothing short of poetic. Any traveler even considering a trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park should consider a run down Guale Road an absolute must-do. Better yet – secure the highly coveted campsite at Guale 2 and enjoy the utter splendor of sunset atop the mesa.
