Big Bend Excursions
WHY I LIKE IT: A trip to Big Bend wouldn’t be complete without at least one or two adventures. Check out the places below to schedule your next excursion in the Chihuahuan Desert or a night under the big, bright Texas stars.
RIO AVIATION: Take a scenic flight over Big Bend National Park and/or Big Bend State Park with a very knowledgeable longtime resident of the Big Bend region, Marcos Paredes. Psst—he’s kind of a legend around these parts.

FAR FLUNG OUTDOOR CENTER: Far Flung offers river, Jeep, ATV, and hiking tours as well as rentals and wilderness medicine courses.

DESERT SPORTS: Guided river, hiking, biking, or combination tours. They also rent mountain bikes and watercraft if you’re feeling extra Bear Grylls and would rather guide yourself! Or did you bring your own bike and need some mechanical work? Their bicycle shop offers repairs, tune-ups, and biking accessories. Located just before the turn-off to Kempf Road.
