Big Bend National Park in Texas | Hiking, Camping & Canoeing | Rio Grande River

We’re in Big Bend National Park in Texas only miles away from the Mexican border. It’s tough surviving out here so we’re putting ourselves to the test trekking from the Chihuahuan Desert to the Rio Grande, then we’re hitting the river navigating through obstacles and rapids. Big Bend National Park is located halfway between El Paso and San Antonio in the Chihuahuan Desert. This remote 800,000 acre park is about the size of Rhode Island. Big Bend National Park has a fascinating history. It’s full of fossils, both dinosaurs and sea creatures from a time when the desert was engulfed by an ancient ocean.

We’re surrounded by mesas which are elevated strips of land that are flat on top with steep cliffs on either side. Eventually, we’ll reach a smaller one called Mariposa Meseta which is named for and shaped like a butterfly.
