Ready to choose your adventure? Through this one tunnel, two epic adventures. Head to the serene Rio Grande Village camp area or cross into Mexico at Boquillas, where you can immerse yourself in a rich cultural experience. The Boquillas crossing is one of the few places you can officially cross the US-Mexico border within a national park. What would you choose?

Looking for a stay that’s a breath of fresh air? Check into Eve's Garden Bed and Breakfast in Marathon and find yourself surrounded by year-round blooms and thoughtful, sustainable design. And did you know their buildings are made from recycled paper adobe? It's a stay that’s kind to the earth, beautiful to the eye, and comfortable too.

Come take a walk with us on the Lost Mine Trail! It's a 4.8-mile journey that might just be the best half-day hike in Big Bend National Park. With alpine paths and stunning lookouts, the view from the top is truly unbeatable. You'll feel on top of the world!

Even our four-legged locals know the best way to beat the heat!

Hidden Dagger Adventures recently stumbled upon this horse taking a water break, a good reminder for everyone in Big Bend to hydrate, cool off, and unwind regularly.

It’s International Migratory Bird Day! Our skies are busy with the flutter of wings as many bird species make their seasonal journey through Big Bend including the Colima Warbler. The Colima Warbler migrates up from Mexico and Big Bend is the only spot in the US to see it!

Want to bird watch? The .Bird.ID app is an easy, fun and engaging way to identify bird calls and determine if they are local residents or visitors passing through.

This Cinco de Mayo, we're celebrating heritage and homegrown talent!

A big congratulations to Terlingua’s own Nueva Generacion, whose high school and middle school dancers shined at the Viva Aztlan Festival in Lubbock—the longest-running folkloric competition in Texas. Their dedication and hard work brought home well-deserved honors to our community. Well done team!

As the moon prepares to shade the sun, the Big Bend region will bask in the shadow of an almost total eclipse. Join us for the celestial spectacle, where we expect 92-95% totality. Swing by our Visitor Kiosk from 11 AM to 3 PM for solar viewing glasses, stellar displays, and fun shadowboxes, all courtesy of our friends at the McDonald Observatory. Stay hydrated while you gaze skyward—we'll be giving away water as well, just in case Texas decides to turn up the heat.
