The Devil's Den Hike offers a challenging yet rewarding trek through rugged terrain for those who want to give it a try. Beyond that, you'll discover what makes the Chihuahuan Desert so special. You'll continue on to the Fossil Discovery Exhibit for a fascinating look into the ancient life that once roamed the area. Then revisit the age of the Spanish Presidios, raids under the Comanche Moon, and the embattled history of Big Bend. Sam Nail Ranch and Homer Wilson ranch introduce you to more history of the park, while Sotol Vista Overlook and Mule Ears Viewpoint boast panoramic views that are quintessential Big Bend.

Next, you'll swing by the Castolon Historic District for a glimpse at the frontier life, before continuing on to the main event: Santa Elena Canyon.
