Glenn Springs is an uninhabited place in the state of Texas, United States, which is of historical importance.[1] The Glenn Springs area was a natural spring providing water for Apache and Kiowa routing.
The rural settlement is located 11 miles (16 kilometers) south-southeast of the Panther Junction visitor center in what is now the Big Bend National Park, and is accessible only by high-clearance vehicle.[2] The National Park Service maintains a back-country campground at Glenn Springs.[3]
