Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
While there are plenty of restaurants with a view in Texas, the Chisos Mountains Lodge Restaurant is on a whole different level. It’s part of the Chisos Mountains Lodge, the only hotel in Big Bend National Park. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, the restaurant overlooks “The Window” – the most iconic mountain vista in the entire park. It’s the perfect place to stop for a bite before or after a full day of hiking!
Whether you're fueling up for a day of hiking or refilling the tank after hitting the trails, Chisos Mountains Lodge Restaurant offers the only full-service dining in Big Bend National Park.
Dinner lasts until 9 p.m., with the last seating at 8:30 p.m. The evening fare is a bit more stick-to-your-ribs, featuring homestyle meals like pork chops and chicken-fried steak. What a delicious way to replenish your nutrient stores!
For the absolute best views, we recommend arriving at the restaurant either just before dawn or around sunset.
