Big Bend National Park is big. As the park service points out, it's bigger than the state of Rhode Island, and the park isn't even close to the largest national park in size. Driving to one of the visitor centers is going to require somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes from your entry point. Of course, if you're pulling over to take some photos or just pausing to take in the view, it might take a bit longer.
Oh, and one more tidbit of advice from the park service, keep your gas tank at least half full. The power grid isn't known for reliability in this remote area, and no power means the gas pumps won't be working. There is fuel available in the park and in Terlingua. We just made it a point to top off the tank frequently.
