About
In 2008, Big Bend National Park was one of the largest parks in the National Park System without an orientation film, a top-requested amenity from visitors. Spanning more than 800,000 remote acres with only a handful of visitor centers, the park had few ways to introduce families to its incredible landscapes or share important safety information. The Visitor Film fills that gap, offering a stunning overview of the park and key insights from park staff.
A gift to the nation from the people of Texas, Big Bend deserves exceptional visitor experiences. This award-winning film serves as a gateway for learning and a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting our public lands. You can view this film in Panther Junction Visitor Center at Big Bend National Park.
