Take a Quick (relatively)Ride with us as we travel down Old Maverick Road!
This is a sped up version of our drive from our recent visit to Big Bend
There are warnings not to take this road unless you have a high clearance 4×4.
If you wondered what this was like take a look as we travel one of the rougher roads in the park.
There are a few rough areas but nothing too terrible
Here is the NPS Description of the road:
“The Old Maverick Road runs between Maverick Junction and Santa Elena Canyon. It is a 14-mile improved dirt road that passes along the Terlingua Creek badlands on the west side of the park. A number of historic sites are located near the road that you may visit as you gradually descend to the Rio Grande and Santa Elena Canyon.
While usually passable for most vehicles, this road tends to be rough and washboarded; the fourteen miles takes around an hour to drive. This road often becomes impassable following any rain, and may be closed when conditions are dangerous. “
This is the full version of our ride for your enjoyment.
