Thanks for the replies. It sounds like a fascinating place. Our group of Seniors will avoid the most strenuous hikes but want to look around. Most people say that it is worth the visit. Huge place and nice to know a little about it before we get there.
Other than the small commercial campground at the Rio Grande Village, Big Bend NP is a fairly primitive place and the primary activities are bird watching, hiking and off-roading. It's also a long drive to get to places for food and drinks beyond the meager supplies at the campground stores.

It's a great park for some, and a total waste of time (and a long way to drive) for others. I recall one couple who drove all the way down from Ohio then complained that there was nothing for them to do there.
