Big Bend Ranch State Park, An Introduction for Overlanders

Love this! It's on my list now!

"The Indians were here thousands of years ago and they left a lot of trace of that" I wondered who George Howard bought the land from back in 1905 - I guess the Native Americans were into real estate back then.

We visited Merus Adventure Park this past March. It was fantastic!

Could a pick-up with bed mounted camper pulling our FJ40 on a car trailer make it to a campsite? Then we could explore with the Toyota. I'd assume March would be prime time to visit?

Great video and narration. Sauceda station has ice sometimes so do not plan to rely on it. It does run out and it takes a while to restock.

My favorite area is where there is no water = No insects! Well not the little biters and the winged ones. When rinsing off at the end of a dusty day hiking the water attracts little mammals.

My dad and grandpa worked and helped build the original park office .

Bravo! Great video!

Excellent video! I saved the video so that I can watch it again before heading out there. Thank you!

This is one of my biggest dreams no lie

Great video. Very informative. I love Big Bend Ranch even more than the national park.

Great video Tim!

This is an exceptional resource, one that I’ve bookmarked for my next trip there. Thank you for putting it together.

Great video tim!

You did a really nice job with this video. Great info. Looking forward to spending a few weeks exploring the State Park.

Wonderful video Mr Tim

What a fun video!! I enjoy desert areas - they have a beauty that is special and unique!!!!

You have done an amazing job showcasing this park and all the how-to's! As a Texan who has been taking trips to the Big Bend area my whole life, I have yet to see the ranch due to not having the vehicle/means to do so. I'm really grateful to be able to experience this Texas gem from your eyes and perspective. Not sure if I'll ever make it to the interior, but would now know what to do to be prepared. Amazing work!

Too poor to buy a big fancy 4x4. Looks like I'll have to set out on foot, I drive a small car

No joke about how far campsites are, I just stayed at Javelin camp and it was a solid two hours from 170 entrance and the last section you’ll need to be in high clearance 4WD vehicle.

Thank you for this vid. Exactly the info I was hoping to find

Absolutely magical! Need to out there with the new trd pro 4Runner

One of the most perfect places in the world
I saw a freaking badger in the backcountry too!

Great Video, Tim! We should go hit the trails sometime if we ever get a chance!

Great video. Thank you.

can you fish the river?

This is a great resource, answered a lot of my questions, thank you for creating and sharing.

Great video on the park. Thank you for sharing. We have been there a couple of times and it never disappoints!

The Ranch is my favorite Park in Texas. I love how rugged and remote it is because that limits it to people with high clearance 4x4 vehicles in many campsites. As a result I feel isolated from society and can imagine myself living there in the 19th Century. And oh my God, the stars at night are simply amazing.

Outstanding video with some excellent advice. I'm looking forward to my upcoming adventure.

Very informative thank you for sharing

Great video!!!

This is truly incredible work. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Beautiful photography and great narration!

Nice work, Tim

Stellar job, my friend. So fun to relive some memories of that Thanksgiving trip years ago…

Very well done. I saw your post in the BiBe Chat forum and decided to check out your channel.

Tim, you killed it with this one. You definitely have a great eye for this

This could be a show on Texas Parks & Wildlife on PBS

Wow! Beautiful scenery! Loved it!

Beautiful videography! It's so peaceful and relaxing. Very informative.
