Guide to Visiting Big Bend National Park

"A historic, eclectic gathering spot in Terlingua that doubles as a beloved place to eat and socialize; Adam Brower says, “One of my favorite places to eat is The Starlight Theater, and I’ll be honest, I can’t go to Terlingua without visiting it,” adding, “If I had a hard day hiking, I reward myself with their ridiculously big burger.” Evenings find locals and tourists on the old theater’s porch playing guitars, hanging out with dogs, and drinking beer—the place captures the town’s spirit but can be laid‑back about service, as Brower cautions: “You’re going to have to leave that kind of stuff at home if you visit Terlingua.”" - Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis is a New York City-based writer and editor with more than a decade of content strategy experience.
