Big Bend National Park - 10 Things to Do!
Рет қаралды 178,064
Күн бұрынThese are 10 things you can do in Big Bend National Park! At over 800,000 acres, it is one of the largest, yet least visited national parks in the United States. If you enjoy hiking, canoeing, sight-seeing, stargazing or soaking in natural hot springs, this is the park for you. Here you can explore the flora and fauna of the Chihuahuan desert, hike the Chisos Mountains or paddle down through several amazing canyons on the Rio Grande, which serves as the international border with Mexico. We loved Big Bend so much that we visited it on two separate trips in December 2017 and 2018.

Awesome! Thanks Josh. I am happy that we finally get to return the favor by giving you ideas. 😀 If you have any questions not in the video, we probably know the answer. We've been there twice after all and obsess about going back. I would definitely try to time the trip if you can to soak in the Hot Springs. I believe it may be closed now. It would be unfortunate if you didn't get to do that. Have a great weekend!

Big Bend National Park looks so gorgeous! I would love to experience the hot springs, and canoeing through the river past the canyon walls would be amazing too. But I think the star gazing at night in that kind of darkness would be the thing I look forward to the most. I have spent most of my life living in suburban areas where there are always streetlamps and well lit signage lighting up the night and it is hard to see many stars. I would love to spend a few nights out there and really get a good look at the night sky. You have some awesome footage in this video. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!

Two more things would be 1) a "once in a lifetime" kayak trip kayaking thru Mariscal Canyon (it is just a little difficult getting to a good put-in spot), and, 2) go to see the additional 300,000 acres at Big Bend Ranch State Park. You are exposing the best kept secret of the National Parks System!

Thank you! We tried to kayak Mariscal twice!!! But so many things did not go right. It is our top priority when we return. And yes! We got to see some of the state park when we went horse riding.

Just watched your video and really enjoyed it! As a native Texan, I have always lived in Texas. I've only been to Big Bend twice in my 68 years.....and both times it was flooding! First time on a bicycle tour in 2014, we got literally flooded out of two different campgrounds and had to take refuge. It rained 7 out of 9 days while cycling and camping, and was cold, foggy and just yuck...visability was less than a mile many days. I really wanted to abandon the tour. The second time I went was in Sept 2020 after they had a very wet period of rain. I drove this time and the desert and area was alive with blooming purple sage and other plants. Could not get into Santa Elena canyon because the road was completely flooded, did visit Boquillas and the river was really high. All canoeing on the river was off limits. There must be something about flooding and me going to Big Bend, lol. But yeah, it is an amazing area, going to try to get back out there soon. I have a slide show movie video on my youtube page if interested. The blooming purple sage was amazing,I think it's worth a watch. Plus the wildflower viedo I have from 2019 is pretty cool.

Fortunately we live in Midland (West Texas) so it’s a fairly easy drive down to the park, which we have done several times. We usually stay a night or two in Alpine or Marathon before we go on to Big Bend. There is much to see and do in the Davis and Glass mountains as well. And don’t forget the Marfa lights and Fort Davis! I had a very close encounter (two feet) with a large male cougar one night at the Chisos Lodge in the mountains basin. We have also seen bears a few times up at the basin as well as javelinas, bobcats and mule deer down in the desert. Be sure and buy some copper wire scorpions at Boquillas and shout out a song request across the river to the ‘Happy Mexican’. He made the trinkets and the proceeds of sales help the Boquillas school on the Mexico side.
@MagellanandGreyhound 2 жыл бұрын
Oh that’s pretty close (considering!). The first time we ever visited Texas we went to all the National Park sites and other stuff in a big circle around the state. Fort Davis, Marfa (that strange Prada store!), Lake Meredith, Amistad, the missions and the Alamo, Padre Island and of course Big Bend. Such an interesting state, but we love west Texas the best. We met the “happy Mexican” I think - he tried to sell us trinkets while in our kayaks at the entrance to the canyon! There’s another guy who sells stuff near Hot Springs as well. It's funny you mention the wildlife encounter. When we were staying in the Guadalupe Mountains, I had an encounter with (I believe javelinas). Not fun.

The Lost Mine Trail is the best bang for your buck as far as a hike goes. Mariscal Canyon is a good hike too but requires a long drive down a dirt road. The Mule Ears Overlook is a must drive too as it is a short distance from the Ross Maxwell Scenic drive. If you are a real adventurer, you can take the 7 mile trail to Dominguez Spring and explore some of the amazing peaks of the Sierra Quemada. Just north of Big Bend is the Davis Mountains. The Star Party at McDonald Observatory is a cool thing to do during a new moon. Balmorhea State Park north of there is really cool. By the way, Emory Peak is the 11th highest peak in the state. www.listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/selecth.php?sort=&n=50&s=TX If you are ever in Oklahoma, check out the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. Be sure and hike the two mile trail going north to south in the Charon's Garden Wilderness, hike up Elk Mountain, hike to Crab Eyes, drive up Mt. Scott, check out the Holy City, and finish off by eating on the river in Medicine Park.
@MagellanandGreyhound 3 жыл бұрын
Wow, thanks for those recommendations! We have so much unfinished business in the area. We actually got a flat tire TWICE trying to both paddle and hike Mariscal. It looks like it’s the best canyon and it’s the hardest to get to! We really wanted to do the Marufa Vega trail as well. There’s something so unique about this part of the country.

For the permits, we applied at the visitor center when we arrived. Definitely check the website because it’s very strict on what you need to bring and they checked us lol. For that trip we brought our own kayaks, which we don’t recommend. The hot water is hot! Not boiling, but close! It’s safe though, don’t worry. Hope that helps

@@MagellanandGreyhound As an Appalachian Trail backpacker, I know trail food. But Terlingua actually has great food! Of course most people would recommend La Kiva! I've been going there for years. I always get a NY Strip Steak and fries (because they only do fries which aggravates me, but...), but there are also other places. There is a small, local Mexican place that has some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. In particular their rice. It is pink in color and fabulous. It's on the south side of 170 but I can't remember the name of it. And we can't forget the Chili Pepper cafe! If you are interested in intrigue, La Kiva has some. The old owner was murdered by a local outfitter employee. He was there drinking "mind erasers." The old owner invented them. I've eaten there both under the old owner and the new owner from up north. The new owner has his own story. He invited me to tour La Kiva before it reopened.

I think that's it. It was awesome and packed! And plenty left to go back and do 😀
