Big Bend National Park
Imagine 800,000 acres filled with Chihuahan desert, the Chisos Mountain Range, and spectacular canyons carved by the Rio Grande complete with 120 miles of flood plains.
This remote park is the least visited yet the variety of geological formations, the ability to hike over 200 miles of trails of varying degrees of difficulty, the opportunity to observe birds and wildlife make this a spot we will return to again.
Enjoy the park with your car, 4wheel drive, bike, canoe or kayak. Stay in your rv, tent or the Chisos Mountains Lodge. It is advisable to book reservations ahead of time, if possible, both for the campsites or the Lodge. You can enjoy the restaurant at Chisos Mountain Lodge or prepare your own meals. Some groceries are available from several convenience stores within the park boundaries, so it is advisable to bring in what you want.
Called the “Last Frontier of Texas,” you can sense the ruggedness and determination of early ranchers and farmers while you explore several of the old homestead sites remaining within the park boundaries.
We left with a sense of awe and a thirst for more knowledge about this incredible area and the geology that it displays.
