Rio Grande Village Visitor Center - Big Bend National Park


The Rio Grande Village Visitor Center is open seasonally from early November to late April. Thus it was closed during our September 2021 trip to Big Bend National Park. However, several outdoor exhibits are accessible even when the visitor center is closed. The visitor center is located 20 road-miles southeast of Panther Junction.
