September is the perfect time to visit Big Bend National Park. Desert plants display their most profuse flowering in late summer, following the regular rains of July and August. Big Bend National Park, over 800,000 acres, encompasses the largest protected area of the Chihuahuan Desert and the only complete mountain range within a National Park in the United States. The boundary on the south is the Rio Grande River and the international border with Mexico.

The National Park site is your source for regional information, park maps and links to other resources.

This is a great site that includes an interactive map of the area and a link to virtual tours: Visit Big Bend

Do not forget this wonderful website, complete with pictures of Big Bend, discussed on prior post : American Southwest
