Stewartsj here - new to OB from Tomball (NW Houston)

Welcome from next door in Central Texas. We hope to go to Big Bend sometime in the near future. Looking forward to your review.
 
Hello from the Abilene area. Headed to Big Bend Christmas day. Be my third trip down there this year. Depending on what your rig is most stock 4x4 vehicles can traverse the trails in the National Park unless it has been raining and then it can be rather muddy. (But Fun) Old Ore Road has several historical sites to stop and look at and the Mariscal Mine District on River road is interesting. There are plenty of oportunnity for hicking from any of the back country roads. Pick up both a road and hiking trail map at the visitor center. I do not have any experience in the State Park.
