Big Bend National Park

Remote and beautiful.

Big Bend in the state of Texas is a hiker’s paradise. More than 150 miles of desert and mountains trails to explore! Santa Elena Canyon Trail was fun and certainly a favorite! Shoes came off and we waded across the Rio Grand to snap a quick pic on the Mexican side of the river – a must do when visiting Big Bend!

A few of our favorites

Boquillas Port of Entry
A great place to cross to Mexico and purchase small souvenirs.

Boquillas Overlook
Purchase Mexican souvenirs via the honor system with the artists across the river watching and communicating with us! A fun experience for the kids since the Boquillas Port of Entry was closed during COVID!
