Surprising beauty
The Brazos River Canyonlands area continues today to be much as it was when the Apaches and then the Comanches made their camps and raised their tepees on the rims of the canyons and scouted from the tops of the tableland mountains. Wildlife has returned in abundance. Large Whitetail and Mule deer, Rio Grande Turkey, and Bobwhite Quail once again fill this unique habitat.
