Take a Scenic Drive
My family has an immense appreciation for simply taking a quiet, scenic drive (although, let’s be honest, sometimes it’s not very quiet when the kids are in the car!). Big Bend National Park boasts more than 100 miles of paved roads which you can explore and enjoy at your own pace. The NPS website mentions the following about its scenic drives:
