  Eating well is an important part of a successful vacation. A rich variety of interesting eateries are found in the Big Bend, but many are not open daily to serve all three meals.

  Getting here can be half the fun, but not if you don't plan well. Big Bend is a long way from major population centers, and public transportation connections are limited at best. Many people drive all the way, round trip. However, there are other alternatives that may save time, money and stress.
