Great local coffee shop with outdoor seating and grand views of the Chisos Mountains. They serve Big Bend Coffee Roasters (my favorite), and also top notch breakfast burritos. No better place to sit and sip on a nice day.

A relatively easy one mile trail that takes you into the Santa Ellena Canyon. You'll find yourself on the Rio Grande River with 1500 foot cliffs on both sides of you, in between Mexico and the USA. Expect an hour or longer scenic drive to get here from the Dome.
