Greetings to all!

I had a trip planned for the first week in October, but now am looking at Labor day weekend (due to work schedule).  Is it really crowded during this time (maybe I answered my own question)? Would be planning to arrive the 8/29 (Thursday). icon_smile

You should be fine. Peak visitation periods are spring break, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/New Year's.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I read that Aug in Big Bend can be rainy at times.  Maybe it's those type of rains where it pours for a few minutes, then the sun pops back out...?

August is the wettest time with a whopping 2.35 inches average monthly rainfall.  But June is the hottest!
