Plan Your Stay Between the Parks

Lajitas – Study Butte – Terlingua

Nestled in the Chihuahuan Desert lowlands between the rugged mountains of Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park lie the attractions, facilities, and services within the communities of Lajitas, Terlingua, and Study Butte in South Brewster County.

Here visitors can find a variety of hotels, restaurants, shops, facilities, and services serving visitors to both parks and as a destination for varied outdoor activities. Book Rio Grande river tours in both the National and State parks, as well as backcountry tours, hiking tours, bicycle tours, horseback rides, and guided hikes.

Stay in motels and guest houses, bed and breakfasts, cabins off the beaten path, or a resort hotel with a spa and golf course. Shop for unique gifts, including local art, hand-crafted jewelry, and Mexican imports.

Camp in one of the RV parks serving visitors to both parks. The area has grocery stores ranging from convenience items, gasoline, propane, and those offering fresh, frozen, and natural foods. Repair services, hardware, emergency services, and internet are available. Enjoy the mild winter weather in Big Bend and between the parks!
