Have a great time! Was down there over Easter weekend and it was green! I mean green! Flowers including Blue Bonnets everywhere. Usually there when its 100 degrees at 10 in the morning so it was a real treat. Enjoy yourself and take care!

Did that back in the early 90s I think. Went out through Presido up to Marfa... Beautiful run for some swamp dwellers. Kept our tanks topped off

For the area, Lajitas Resort is a nice place to stay. The ride up 170 to Presidio is not bad either. Also, worth a trip up to Fort Davis.

I spent a week in the area last summer, man was it hot. Now would be a great time to ride the area.

In Alpine right now on my way to hwy191 in AZ. This is the best weather I have ever experience for the Big Bend area. It was only low 80's on the way in on 90 from Del Rio. Every time I have been through this area it has been pushing 100 degrees F during the day.

I have been to Eureka Springs before, you will enjoy that ride as well.

Was in Big Bend this last week. Some pretty nice roads to ride and a lot of pretty flora. I liked Langtry. We also went up to Ft. Davis, and the road to Kent was nice. Look out for snakes.

Little Friend that was in the middle of the road between Ft. Davis and Kent.
