Hot Springs Road

Hot Springs Road is a gravel backcountry route in the southeastern portion of Big Bend National Park that provides access to the historic Hot Springs along the Rio Grande. At the end of the road, a short hike leads to the remains of early 1900s buildings, Native American pictographs, and the famous hot springs located along the edge of the river. The road itself is generally easy to travel, but a portion becomes one-way as it traverses a narrow section along a steep drop-off. Wider vehicles should use extra caution through this area, and trailers are not recommended due to the limited space and narrow roadway.
