Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Big Bend National Park is located about four and a half hours by road from San Antonio, making it a little too far for a regular day trip, so pack up your tent or RV and set off for the outdoor adventure of your life. If you really only have one day to spend in the park it would be wise to stick to the highlights which include driving the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, for amazing viewpoints over the Chihuahua Desert and the chance to see the Santa Elena Canyon. A quick visit to the Castolon Historic District will give you a glimpse of life in the pioneer days. Whichever part of this huge national park you are visiting offers excellent hiking trails through rugged desert or mountain vistas.
