We’ve recently learned that certain roads within Terlingua Ranch lack public easements. As a result, we have removed the Terlingua Ranch portion from Section 3 of the route. We’re exploring potential alternatives, but for now, please respect the private property in this area and avoid riding this segment to help maintain positive relationships with local residents and landowners.
This map reflects the change, and the GPX tracks have been updated. Remember to download the latest route tracks before your trip.
Big Bend National Park will be closing access to Chisos Basin starting August 2025.
This closure will limit lodging opportunities in the area. Riders wishing to lodge or camp at Chisos may need to detour to Terlingua/Study Butte for motels or camp at Rio Grande starting Fall 2025.
