Three Days in Big Bend and Terlingua

A short trip to southwest Texas to see a ghost town and the Nation’s least visited National Park.

BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK

 
 

Big Bend National Park, located in the southwestern part of Texas, is an absolute marvel of nature. Spanning over 800,000 acres, this vast and mesmerizing wilderness

a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and offers a wide range of activities, including hiking, backpacking, camping, and river rafting. The park is not only home to a diverse

array of plant and animal species but also boasts breathtaking vistas that leave visitors in awe. Whether exploring the otherworldly landscapes of Santa Elena Canyon,

gazing at the mesmerizing star-filled skies, or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature, Big Bend National Park offers an unforgettable experience that will leave an

indelible mark on anyone lucky enough to venture there.
