    Big Bend Hot Springs Trail

    January 16, 2020 / No Comments

    Big Bend National Park is still one of my favorite National Parks in the U.S. for many reasons. One of them being just how many things you can do while you are visiting and how many of these things are normally completely vacant. During my last visit to Big Bend we mostly saw just a handful of hikers during our entire stay and where able to enjoy one of the biggest parks iin the lower 48 in complete peace. The Hot Springs are a must do hike while you are visiting the park since the trail is quite short and covered in history of the original settlers of the region.…

    Big Bend South Rim Trail

    December 19, 2019 / No Comments

    The South Rim Trail at Big Bend National Park straddles the line between a backpacking hike and a day hike, at 12.4 miles it can easily take the better part of your entire day if not an overnight trip. Our preferred starting point and the one most people will end up using is the Chisos Basin Trailhead just a few steps away from the Chisos Mountain Lodge parking lot. Since we where staying at the Rio Grande Motel it made the most sense to start at this trailhead for our day long journey. My first word of warning for this hike is to make sure you are in adequate physical…

    Long Weekend Big Bend National Park Trip

    December 12, 2019 / 8 Comments

    My first time to Big Bend National park was over a long weekend this past summer of 2018. I originally was hesitant to go down to the southern border of Texas in the middle of June due heat issues but overall the weather wasn’t that bad. We actually where shocked at how chilly the nights got and how pleasant the weather was when hiking up the South Rim Trail. Day 1 We left Dallas-Fort Worth area on a Thursday to start our 10 plus hour road trip to Big Bend National Park. We had secured accommodations at the Rio Grande Motel inside the park at the Chisos Mountain Lodge. I…

    Big Bend National Park

    November 14, 2019 / No Comments

    Right on the Texas – Mexico Border runs the Rio Grande River and a National Park encompassing more than 800,000 acres of towering river canyons, mountain cliffs, and expansive Chihuahuan Desert. This National Park has been on my list of paces to visit ever since I had seen pictures of the Santa Elena Canyon and the South Rim Trail views. I know the park was in my home state of Texas but also knew that this is Texas and distances within the state can be very daunting. My first trip to this park was a coincidence since I had been looking at dates further in the future trying to find…
