COMING SOON: A NEW BIG BEND HIKING TRAIL
The Brewster County Tourism Council and Visit Big Bend has been informed by Big Bend National Park that the development of a new hiking trail located at Panther Junction has begun.
The Lone Mountain Trail will be accessible just north of park headquarters at Panther Junction. The trail will circle the base of Lone Mountain and grace visitors with views of the Chisos, Dead Horse, and Rosillos Mountains. The new trail will be categorized as a moderately challenging hike with a length of 3 miles, which will begin and end in Panther Junction. The construction of The Lone Mountain Trail will occur in 2022 by the Big Bend National Park trail crew and volunteers.
Brewster County is still under a mask mandate with all businesses requiring a face covering to enter or to be served. When visiting businesses in the Big Bend, please follow all CDC guidelines and all governor mandates created to stop the spread of COVID-19.
