Big Bend was the first national park that we visited when we set out on our RV journey back in 2016. Click here to see that post. We returned because we love it here and the weather is great this time of year. Since we now have a 4-wheel drive vehicle we were able to to go on some new hikes, but we loved revisiting some of our favorite hikes in the park as well.

Balanced Rock Trail

The Window & Oak Spring Trails

The Scenic Drive

The 50 mile drive from our RV park to Presidio on FM 170 is a beautiful drive through parts of Big Bend State Park. Colorful rocks abound on this road and runs parallel with the mighty Rio Grande River.

Upper Burro Mesa Pouroff Trail

Lower Burro Mesa Pouroff Trail

Scott Plays Golf

Our RV park is owned by the Lajitas Resort and is across the street. The resort boasts one of the best golf coarses in Texas called Black Jack’s Crossing. I drove along with Scott while he played his round and the surroundings are gorgeous.

Pine Canyon Trail

This is a unique hike as it takes you to a tall rain pouroff (could be a small waterfall during the wet season). The hike starts in the desert but changes to a forest of tress. It looked and felt like fall.

Lost Mine Trail

Santa Elena Trail

Sotol Vista at Sunset

We leave here and have a few travel days and a brief stop at Medina Lake before getting to Houston.
