Apache Trail

It's amazing how the Native Americans lived and traveled in the Big Bend. They were some hardy folks! Although early residents of this area did not build permanent structures, they did leave a great deal of their lives behind.

If you like cultural history, think about joining us for a 2 hour Jeep tour and walk into one of the many Native American "base camps" in the Big Bend. You'll need some good walking shoes, a camera and an outdoor mind.

Camp 360 (our most popular tour!)

Camp 360 Jeep Tour, Big Bend National Park

Our first Camp 360 tour back in 1998 was named that because we went to a place that had a spectacular view of Big Bend in all directions. This tour has changed over the years (and will again), but the name has stuck, and so have the views. Without a doubt, this is our most popular three hour trip.

So grab your camera (they are required!), put on some good walking shoes and join this fun, educational, scenic road trip to the back of nowhere!

Round the Bend

Is there such a thing as taking a vacation and going to school at the same time?

Well, if you're coming out to the Big Bend - and it's your first time - give some thought to taking this Big Bend 101 course by Jeep. We call it 'Round the Bend. There are no quizzes, homework or books...just a curious mind is all that is needed for this 6 hour (we call it all day) adventure into Big Bend National Park.

While we can't take in the entire park (that would translate into days, if not a lifetime!), our professors of natural history, will turn you into true "Big Benders"! By the way, you don't have to be a first timer to enjoy this course! And we'll bring lunch.

Departure Time: 9:00 a.m.
Return Time/Trip Length: Around 3 p.m.
Meals & Refreshments: Lunch, iced tea, lemonade and water provided. Guests should bring their own water bottle to be re-filled during the tour.
