127 - Big Bend: The Park at the End of the Road

Big Bend National Park may look like a quiet desert, but its mountains, river, trails, and ruins hold thousands of years of history. 

In this episode, we uncover the stories of Indigenous peoples, Mexican settlers, ranchers, miners, soldiers, and Civilian Conservation Corps workers who shaped the land long before it became a national park. Follow the mystery of a rusted pickaxe and discover how Big Bend became one of Texas’s most remarkable protected places.
