Big Bend National Park is the jewel of the Chihuahuan Desert, brimming with life just under its rugged surface. The park straddles the border of the United States and Mexico, and even has a border crossing between the two.

Need help deciding what to prioritize in this massive park, which spans over 1,250 square miles? I regularly visit Big Bend, and these five park features are always worth a stop. They're doable in a single day or easily extended if you're spending a longer period of time in Big Bend.

The culinary experience at Atlantis Paradise Island you won’t find elsewhere
Flavors that extend beyond the Bahamas
Atlantis Paradise Island

When I think of a Bahamian vacation, the first foods that come to mind are conch fritters and a delicious Bahama Mama. These classic Bahamas foods make for the perfect lunchtime bites, great for when you need a light meal while sitting poolside. Yet, when traveling to a tropical destination, going out to dinner is the part of the day I look forward to the most. Come dinner time, I seek more than just good food. I want an experience.

As great as it is to nibble on snacks for lunch, I'm already planning what to order for dinner hours in advance.
