Summer in Big Bend is truly underestimated, and we love it as much or maybe even more than Spring.
The best days start early, slow down in the middle, pick back up as the light softens, and end under some of the clearest night skies in North America. You do not have to rush from one long hike to the next to have a great visit. In fact, the best summer days in Big Bend are usually built around a few simple things: a beautiful morning outing, a good meal in Terlingua, a comfortable midday reset, an evening walk or scenic drive, and a night spent looking up at the Milky Way.
There’s a new object moving through the solar system right now, and if it holds together as it approaches the sun, it could become one of the most visible comets in recent years! We show you how and when to view this event from Big Bend.
Have you ever wondered how to capture the night sky and the Milky Way with just your phone? The truth is, it’s absolutely possible with the device already in your pocket. In this simple guide, we walk you through exactly how to do it, step by step, so you can photograph the stars with confidence on your next clear, moonless night.
