Thanks, Airbnb, for letting hosts create a custom link! It'll be much easier to remember than a jumble of numbers.

Imagine this tarantula crawling into your tent to cuddle in the middle of a cold, spooky night! After killing their prey, tarantulas inject digestive enzymes into the body to liquefy the flesh and suck it up through their straw-like mouths. Is your skin crawling yet?!?
Don't worry, though! With a bite milder than a honeybee sting, tarantulas are considered harmless to humans, eating mostly insects along with the occasional mouse, frog, or lizard. Even so, be sure to give these critters some space. When touched or prodded, they can eject their itchy belly hairs into your skin. And who can blame them? They just want to live their life wild and free in Big Bend where they are protected along with all wildlife.

Temporary Closure of the Lost Mine Trail in Big Bend NP

Big Bend National Park is temporarily closing the popular Lost Mine Trail area due to increased bear activity. The closure includes the trail, trailhead, parking area, and north facing slope of Casa Grande Peak. Alternative areas for hiking and camping in the Chisos Mountains and throughout the park remain open to the public for normal use.

Our bear signs are no joke! This mama black bear and her two cubs were taking advantage of the easy walking along the Basin Road on the way up into the Chisos Mountains. Black bears roam throughout the park but are primarily seen in the cooler Chisos Mountains along trails and roads as well as deep in the backcountry. Be sure to never leave food unattended and stay more than 100 yards away for your safety and to protect the wild nature of Big Bend's black bears. We love to receive your report of recent bear sightings in the park at visitor centers!
