There has been so many threads on these 2 parks that people have learned almost everything about these parks. But since I have an upcoming trip, I decided why not make a thread and share pictures and maybe videos everyday on my trip.
Trip is from April 20th to April 25th
This is my tentative itinerary. Feel free to give me any suggestions or if anybody from here will be there, would be nice to go on some runs together. I have been to BBNP and BBSP before. The only major thing I will do different this time is little offroading, lol. Trying to avoid too much pinstriping. I will not be camping, but instead I will be staying at the Chisos Mining Motel in Terlingua. I hope the weather is good at this time and not too hot.
This is my tentative itinerary...
