Big Bend National Park is often called "Three Parks in One," referring to the river, desert, and mountains found within its boundaries. From the banks of the Rio Grande to the top of Emory Peak, an elevation difference of 6,000 feet emerges. Did you know that Big Bend is home to more than 1,200 species of plants? Visit this exhibit to explore the connections between Big Bend's variety of plant life and its wide range in elevation.
