Getting Lost (on Purpose) in Big Bend National Park

"Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all — especially when Big Bend is your backyard for the week.”

We decided to head west, chasing desert sunsets and wide-open skies. The drive into Big Bend National Park feels like entering another world: rugged mountains, twisting canyons, and silence so deep you can hear your own heartbeat.

The Sierra 3800RK felt massive against the desert backdrop, but once leveled, it turned into a cozy outpost. The dogs loved the wide-open space — tails wagging as they sniffed every cactus and rabbit track in sight.

Days were spent hiking Santa Elena Canyon and dipping our toes in the Rio Grande. Nights? Stargazing under skies so clear you could see the Milky Way stretch from horizon to horizon.

Big Bend reminded us why we chose RV life: freedom, wild beauty, and the comfort of home on wheels no matter how far out we roam.
