Even with the devastating effects of the drought this place is a treasure trove of native plants. If you want to see everything that the Chihuahuan Desert has to offer then this is the place. I highly recommend the garden tour early in the morning cause it heats up fast this time of year. Do not miss the observation pavilion... More

A small discreet building at the entrance to the Lajitas Resort belies how great it is inside,,,,explains the ice age and the different animals that have inhabited the area and a wonderful bird santuary. We loved it,,,take a hour and explore and it will add so much more to your understanding of the Big Bend region. More
