Texas Has 1 Of The USA’s Warmest National Parks

A list of the warmest national parks in the USA has one Texas park on it, a beautiful place where it's never too cold to enjoy the outdoors.

The Adventure Detour just listed the 9 warmest national parks in the United States of America and Texas, (of course), made the list with a monstrous park located near El Paso.

If you're into hiking, El Paso also has a huge state park perfect for hiking just about all year.

Coming in at #4 on the list, Big Bend National Park is located about 3 hours from El Paso. Its mild climate makes it a perfect getaway just about any time of year although, I'll admit, the temp in high summer can get kinda crazy. 100 degrees plus, easy and the stars at night, truly, are big and bright ... clap, clap, clap, clap.

The rest of the year it's nice and, being that it is not as heavily visited as other national parks, you'll almost never find it "crowded". Relatively speaking that is, spanning over 800,000 acres, (#15 in the USA's top 20), it would take a sh**load of visitors to truly "crowd" it.

What's It Like In Winter?

Winter is an especially nice time to visit as temperatures range from highs of 60 - 70 and lows fall between 40 - 50 degrees. Rain is rare and snow even rarer so it's doubtful you'll have any weather related cancellations or hang-ups. Just don't plan a visit during the holidays. That's about the only tine you will find the park busy.

The winter weather is perfect for enjoying hiking, floating, camping, 4-wheeling, and stargazing. Big Bend is an International Dark Sky Park with the best night sky viewing on our list due to it’s rural location. - theadventuredetour.com

On top of that, there are natural hot springs there which are relaxing no matter the temp but feel especially good during the chilly but not "cold" winter days and even chillier nights.
