Madera Canyon Rest Stop

Big Bend Ranch S.P. Texas

The Teepee rest stop just west of Lajitas on the River Road affords excellent views of the Rio Grande in both directions
as well as obvious photo opportunities as a classic roadside attraction in its own right.
These distinctive shelters - complete with benches and tables - were built in the 1960s as a result of Lady Bird Johnson's Highway Beautification Act.

The highway, the rugged landscape, and the rest stop a neat slice of Americana.

easy to see why a spot in the shade might be appealing under the hot Texas sun..
