Fun in the Desert

This is a great place to camp if you want to see how gorgeous the desert can be. There's not really much shade, so definitely be prepared for that. Also, as always, bringing enough water is a must! But the hiking is fun, and the flora and fauna out there is pretty great. Overall, it is definitely worth a day or two of your time!

Big Bend, big skies

Campsite is primitive style, so no facilities, you get a drive-up backcountry experience if you have a JEEP. Nice setting between two ridges with great views. Flat and mostly cactus free. Great hiking in the area, some very challenging. Good wildlife in the area, isolated.
