Big Bend National Park is a place of big skies, big views, and big adventures. The Santa Elena Canyon Trail offers visitors the chance to experience the park's 1500-foot-high stone walls up close. For those looking to relax, the 105-degree hot springs are the perfect place to soak away your cares. And don't miss the Fossil Discovery Center, where you can see a giant pterosaur, the largest flyer ever. Birdwatching is also a popular activity at Rio Grande Village, and sunset seekers will want to hike to Window View for one of the best views in the park. Finally, don't forget to canoe along the Rio Grande at Santa Elena Canyon for an unforgettable experience.
