Trail Overview

The Glenn Springs Road runs North to South through Big Bend National Park in Texas. This is a very scenic drive with several campsites which require a permit. This road has some very rutted and washed-out strips, so speed should be monitored. Big Bend is extremely remote so come prepared. Cell service is nonexistent so be sure to download offline maps.

Difficulty

This trail should be suitable for most stock SUVs with ground clearance. It would be a good idea to have 4WD in Big Bend.

Status Reports

An easy but rough trail in Big Bend National Forest. In dry conditions, any rugged high-ish clearance vehicle should be able to do it. The trail includes several washes which might become much more difficult after rain. I aired down for comfort and used low gear to help control my speed.

Rough in some areas with a few creek beds crossings and ruts here and there. Not too bad if you just air down. Quite a few people in and out when we were out there.

Good trail, gives access to Black Gap and River Roads East and West. No major obstacles, fairly well maintained.
