Rio Grande Village Nature Trail Big Bend National Park, TX 79834

"I would say a must-do in the park because the views all around the river and walking through the tall grass is what makes this park what it is. You can continue to walk straight out all the way to the river, but we just did the overlook loop, and saw everything we needed to see. Parking is just finding a non-camping spot along the side of the road somewhere, so it can be a bit difficult during the busy times of day."

"We hiked this trail and watched the sun set all 4 nights we stayed in this campground. I rated it moderate because I have 2 bad knees and am out of shape. You can see the Sierra del Carmen turn colors with the sun set, Boquillas del Carmen and the Rio Grande at the overlook. Make sure to also take the spur down to the river before leaving. Do not miss this trail!"

"A short hike, gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape from the overlook."

"This is important! Near here is a border crossing into Mexico by row boat! Bring your passport for a little extra adventure. It’s the Boquillas crossing! Bring binoculars for great bird sighting and walk down to the rio grande. The sunset views are also supposed to be amazing. No gas/petrol for a while so being a full tank of gas."

"Very impressive views of the river. Easy hike to overlook. There is a section of stair steps to climb. Overlook is a short distance from the campground trail head."
