Big Bend National Park is located in Texas. While the park is in a more remote area of the state, it’s still a great option for both casual enjoyers of the outdoors as well as more experienced outdoorsmen. The area’s round mild weather in the winter makes the colder months one of the most popular times to visit. If you’re not bothered by hotter temperatures (or planning to visit for water-related activities) a summer trip can be a bit less crowded. Some of the many things to do in the park include exploring over 150 miles of hiking trails or floating the Rio Grande River.
