One of the best known off-road trips in Big bend is the River Road. 52 miles long with different type of terrain that tests the most brave. An epically long road that spans the remote southern portion of the park, generally (sometimes only vaguely) following the course of the Rio Grande. For some Big Bend adventurers, driving the length of the road is a rite of passage. Along the way are many side roads, backcountry campsites, trail-heads to some of the park's most isolated areas (including the Mariscal Canyon Trail), and sections of the park most visitors never see. The advice from the park rangers is to allow at least a day to travel the entire length, we did it in 4 hours.The most difficult part is the sand which as anyone who has ridden off-road knows it is the toughest thing to do.
We did the river road on Tuesday and took some pics. Unfortunately Scot was not with us as his bike had a fuel related issue and needed to get fixed.
