About the trip

Multi-day guided walking through the West Texas backcountry, from a beginner overnight to guided thru-hikes like the Big Bend 100, a hundred-mile route from the state park into the national park.

Two ways to do it. Carry your own camp, with gear, food and a packing list provided. Or take the supported option, where you walk with a day pack and arrive at a camp already set with dinner cooking, resupplied by vehicle or boat.

They also run private guided day hikes on the classic Chisos routes and the River Road, and a few places they keep to themselves.

Hiking season runs October through mid-April. Groups over six are $180 per person per day; smaller groups are $200. Minimum two people.
