Delayed Trip Report: Big Bend

[nomadictxn]

I am not much of a photographer, I did take a few this past November on a trip to BBNP. We had a great time. It is truly a unique place if you have never been there. I was looking at pictures on my Pad today and thought I would help anybody that is snowed in still and anxious to get out. If you ever go to BBNP in Texas, you have to keep in mind that it is remote. The remotest park in the lower 48. It is very hot or can be delightful in the Summer. Usually hot. It has 4x4 roads, hiking (desert and mountains), rafting and great camping. Load your refer up in Alpine on the way in. Food and gas are a little pricey, but not outrageous near and in the park. If you have time, take the River Road back to Presidio and then head north to Marfa. Don't miss Balmorhea, Davis Mountains and The McDonald Observatory if you have time. Believe me, I have been visiting the Big Bend for 30 years and there are things to see new every time. This was our biggest trip so far in our camper and really enjoyed touring the park with the possibility of lunch and a bathroom in every place we parked.








Til the next Big trip!!
Regards

Two years ago in April the wife and I spent four days in Big Bend National Park and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It is indeed a wonderful place to go to bike, camp, explore and hike the many trails. We'll definitely go back one of these days to do it again. I'm sure.
