yourself following in the same
hoof tracks and trails of
Comanche and Apache war
parties, seeing West Texas like it
was meant to be seen.
Experience the Big Bend as did
wild Texas cowboys mounted
on their swift Texas cow ponies,
rounding up the untamed and
elusive Texas Longhorn cattle.
You can ride where they rode,
see the same landscape that they
saw 150 years ago. A Texas trail
ride is an adventure back in
time, far away from the electri-
fied environment of the city.
With the West fast disap-
pearing few places still exist,
even in Texas, where you can
experience a true horseback
vacation. Fortunately the Big
Bend and the Davis Mountain
country of Far West Texas still
offer the true Western horse-
back experience: trail rides,
overnight horseback trips,
chuck wagon cooking, pack
trips, horseback weekends, guid-
ed horseback tours and hunting
trips. An opportunity to explore
the Trans-Pecos beauty, mys-
tery and legends in true Western
style. Ride the trails on the
descendants of the horses that
survived the heat and drought,
tamed the cattle and were every
cowboy’s best friend.
Here is a list of several horse-
back destinations available in
the Big Bend/Davis Mountain
area. This list is by no means
complete. Check your guide
