Lower Burro Mesa Pouroff Trailhead — photo spot in Big Bend National Park, TX 79834, USA
Lower Burro Mesa Pouroff Trailhead
Dramatic rim and pouroff cliffs overlooking desert badlands and the distant Rio Grande — ideal for sweeping landscapes, layered mesas, and night skies. Reachable from a rough park road; Big Bend entrance fee required. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and long shadows; very dark for Milky Way after moonset. Carry water, sun protection, and a high-clearance vehicle or be prepared for a short hike from parking. Avoid midday heat; check road conditions after rain.
