The Big Loop of the Big Bend

When describing Big Bend, “awesome” is an understatement of grand proportion, which is why it has been one of our favorite haunts for over twenty-five years. If you’ve been there, then you KNOW what we mean, and you just want to go back. If you’ve haven’t, you can only imagine. (If you live in Texas and you’ve never been, well, that’s almost un-American.) Towering mountains rise from an ocean of Chihuahuan desert landscapes. Deep canyons and fantastic volcanic rock formations reveal a kaleidoscope of geologic history, hemmed in by wide open ranchlands where the horizon seems to be the only boundary. Ready to get away from it all? This is the place.

Set yourself loose on our eight-day adventure featuring the best of the Big Bend. Your accommodations are comfortable motels and lodges, and include the legendary Gage Hotel in Marathon and the historic Veranda Country Inn in Ft. Davis. You’ll also have two days off to explore a few of the more interesting side trips in Lajitas and Big Bend National Park.

But make no mistake, the bicycling on this trip is the real attraction, and the route is matchless. You’ll experience the steepest climbs and fastest downhills in the state of Texas, and a whole lot of unforgettable scenery in between. You can rely on our ever-attentive van support in those wide-open spaces, and the weather is ideal for cycling in both spring and fall. Join us and experience that quintessential West Texas grandeur first hand.
