About Big Bend Country: A Biker Rides West
Early spring in Big Bend Country—there’s no finer riding. Lightly traveled Highway 17 twists its way through the Davis Mountains with its towering fingers of prehistoric lava. Pristine Highway 118 gently winds through the buttes and mesas of the western Chisos Mountains. Davis Mountain State Park’s serpentine and aptly named Skyline Drive rises above surrounding valleys. Wondrous rides, hikes, and desert-mountain scenery of Big Bend National Park. Fresh air with an occasional hint of creosote, mild temperatures, cacti and wildflowers in full bloom. Author, photojournalist and modern-day saddletramp Brian Dowsley spent a week riding and exploring this splendid country. What an adventure . . . and that’s not counting the occasional rattlesnake or singing Mexican! With close to 700 photos and illustrations, Dowsley not only describes events, but brings them to you in living color. This adventure journal takes you well beyond the enticement to visit many of the places he has . . . you’ll feel you’ve already been there! Who is this book for: (1) Those who have visited Big Bend National Park, the Davis Mountains, Monahans Sandhills and other areas of West Texas and would like the perfect souvenir. (2) Those who plan to visit West Texas and would like an idea of what’s in store . . . then see (1) above. (3) Those who have never been to this wonderland, but love stories of travel and adventure . . . then see (2) and (1) above. “In this work, Brian Dowsley captures in narrative and photos this land where rattlesnakes, cactus, sand dunes and science meet, from the saddle of his modern horse bred and born by Harley-Davidson.”— From the foreword by Gene Shelton author of the “Texas Legends” series and “The Texas Horsetrading Company” stories.
