Trip Motif National Parks Spellbound In Big Bend National Park : Journey Highlights

One of the least visited and most pristine wilderness areas in North America, Big Bend National Park encompasses three very different environments: the Chihuahuan Desert, Chisos Mountains, and snaking Rio Grande river canyons. Dig deeply on this adventure into the region’s cultural and natural history with your naturalist guide, strolling sandy washes, exploring the dramatic limestone formations of Boquillas and Santa Elena canyons, walking cottonwood-lined riverbanks, hiking mountain trails, watching for painted buntings and vermillion flycatchers, and listening for the distant howl of coyotes. Come with us to explore this off-the-beaten-path treasure of the U.S. National Park system.

Big Bend is a true off-the-beaten path destination—and truly worth the effort, especially if you’re a bird enthusiast or star gazer. Barbara Mall, Travel Advisor
