Hike your way through Big Bend National Park, one of the most remote, wildly beautiful and peaceful places in America. Geological history spanning millions of years and a discussion of the “brief” era of the dinosaurs will add to the appreciation and mystique of what the early Spanish explorers called “El Despoblado” — the empty land.

Here's what people are saying about our hiking adventures:
“Big Bend National Park is a must see. The program is excellent – nice day hikes on trails to Mule Ears, Santa Helena Canyon, Balanced Rock, The Window, the Hot Springs, and Lost Mine – excellent, personable instructors who communicate insightful knowledge of the desert. It is well-organized and the twenty or so cordial participants made for a fun adventure!”
“This program was an absolute marvel filled with experiences that have created memories that will last forever. The sights, the wines, the food, & the knowledge gained were all outstanding.”
