Big Bend National Park is one of the largest and
least visited of America’s national parks. Over 801,000 acres in
southwest Texas await your exploration and enjoyment. From an elevation
of less than 2,000 feet along the Rio Grande to nearly 8,000 feet in the
Chisos Mountains, Big Bend National Park includes massive canyons, vast
desert expanses, and the entire Chisos Mountain range. Here, you can
explore one of the last remaining wild corners of the United States, and
experience unmatched sights, sounds, and solitude.
For more than
1,000 miles, the Rio Grande forms the international boundary between
Mexico and the United States; Big Bend National Park administers
approximately one-quarter of that boundary. Within the 118 twisting
miles that also define the park’s southern boundary, the river’s
southeasterly flow changes abruptly to the northeast and forms the “big
bend” of the Rio Grande.
