Trip Update:
Texas Hill Country & Big Bend
We wanted to share a quick update for those asking about our Texas Hill Country and Big Bend excursions.
Due to recent flooding in the region, roads, water crossings, and campgrounds have been significantly impacted. At this time, the backcountry trails and access routes need more time to recover. Our guiding partners at Yellow Dog Adventures had hoped to run Big Bend in Fall 2025, but conditions are not yet suitable for a safe and quality experience.
We’re currently aiming for Spring 2026, pending trail and road recovery. We’ll have a clearer picture as we get closer and will update everyone on the list as soon as plans are confirmed.
If conditions improve sooner or an alternative route opens that’s worth exploring, we’ll be the first to let you know.
Thanks for your patience - we know many of you were excited about these trips, and we appreciate you hanging in there with us.
TRIP OVERVIEW
The Big Bend area in west Texas derives its name from its location on the bend of the Rio Grande River, which separates the United States from Mexico.Â
Big Bend National Park has massive canyons, vast desert, the Chisos mountain range, and the Rio Grande River. At just over 800,000 acres, it’s the fifteenth largest national park, but one of the least visited due to its remote location. Big Bend Ranch State Park is right next door with another 300,000 acres of mountains, canyons, desert and river.
This trip is along unimproved roads and pavement in both parks.
While we’ll see the well-known features of the park, like Santa Elena Canyon and Chisos Basin, we’ll take the backroads and see parts of Big Bend the most miss. We will be airing down for a more comfortable ride and have an air compressor or two to assist in airing back up. Camping will be all off grid. All dinners and final morning breakfast are included.

“I didn't know that 135 miles at 12 mph could be so fun. Definitely a "must do" trip. Very historic area..”
