Came across this website this morning.  Good article on BIBE.  They reference Big Bend as a great place for sandboarding.  Never thought of BIBE being known for that.  Could they be referring to the sand dunes that over in Boquillas Canyon?

I was checking out the photo gallery they have for Big Bend and got a nice surprise to see a water fall I have never heard of and I also learned that Big Bend has lush green pastures with plenty of Bison. eusa_shhh eusa_shhh eusa_shhh

I'm willing to bet, based on James's observation of Bison and water falls, that they are more referring to Monahans Sandhills State Park

Activities: Activities include camping; hiking; picnicking; equestrian; bird and wildlife watching from the interpretive center windows, as they come to the watering stations; and sand surfing. Texas Camel Treks are held at the park.

Wow, we can also go swimming in the beautiful lake/ocean. I'm ready for a summer hike now!
