September 13, 2019Stunningly beautiful. Amazing this exists in Texas. Very steep and windy road. Narrow and tight in spots.
December 17, 2018Neat drive with great views. My group used this route to get to our campsite.
January 4, 2018Scenic drive into the heart of the Chisos leading to multiple trailheads, camping. Camping can be limited in big Bend during the peak season. Plan well ahead.

First to ReviewThis is the highest (and coolest) portion of Big Bend. This road is only about 10 miles, a little crooked, but fun to drive. Trailers over 25' not recommended.
