Pardon Our Dust
Thanks to funding from the Great American Outdoors Act, work on two large construction projects in the Chisos Basin will begin in May 2025 and continue for approximately two years. As work begins, the Chisos Basin area will be closed to visitor entry. This includes the Basin Road, lodging units, Basin Campground, restaurant, NPS visitor center, camper store, and surrounding trail access. This work will ONLY affect the Chisos Basin area of Big Bend National Park. As major components are completed, park managers will assess which areas can be safely reopened to regular public access.Stay tuned as construction contracts are finalized and work timelines are set.
