Dream network of Texas Big Bend parks outlined by board chair
D B Colp, chair of the Texas State Park Board, with officials, toured the Davis Mountains as plans emerge for a linked park system across the Big Bend. A rancher offered 25,108 acres near Presidio, with 5,000 more proposed for Big Bend, and highways to connect sites northeast toward Alpine and Marfa. The piece highlights potential mineral wealth, scenic routes, and caves in Brewster County, including Garden of the Gods and Santa Hel Canyon, with legends of hidden tunnels and treasure.
