You can also virtually visit the famous setting of the Battle of the Alamo – a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. A link to the tour can be found here.
Big Bend National Park
Big Bend National Park is one of the least-visited national parks in the United States, receiving fewer than 300,000 visitors a year, but for the people that have travelled there, they don’t stop talking about its charms. Experience it for yourself from your own sofa with this amazing documentary from award-winning filmmaker Carl Walker Crum. The film on the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River serves as a great “tour” of Big Bend.
