Splendid Isolation: A Solo Adventure at Big Bend National Park

Solo Travel Adventures: Safe Travel for Women, Preparing for a Trip, Overcoming Fear, Travel Tips

In the US we have 63 National Parks to explore with Big Bend in the state of Texas.
Big Bend in located far West Texas on a bit over 800,000 acres of geographic marvel of vast desert landscapes with rocky mountain ridge tops and carved out canyons near the border of Mexico. It is the 15th largest National park in the US.
BEST TIME TO GO: Spring and Fall or November thru April.
HOW TO GET THERE: You must drive. It is very remote with no airports nearby.
Two Entrances: Persimmon Gap (North side) and Maverick Entrance (West side near Terlingua)
WHERE TO STAY: Chisos Mountain Lodge, RV campgrounds or tent campsites and backcountry campsites. All accommodations can be booked through the NPS.org site with links to bookings.
THINGS TO DO: Hiking or scenic drives. I share the hikes/trails I experienced during my 3 day trip, but there are 200 miles of trails to explore.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS: 1) Get gas before driving into the park. 2) Bring enough supplies of water and food or camping needs. 3) Get a paper map of the park because GPS will not work in many places of the park.
