Great video guys! I’ve been there once and am going back next week, but camping at the state park.

[@paulmangone5824]

Big Bend was a great destination! So beautiful! Really enjoyed your video, including the bathroom coffee and all of Chef Michael’s cooking. The roadrunners are cute! Thanks for sharing your journey.

Just wanted you to know Big Bend is considered West Texas. South Texas is another 6 to 8 hours of driving away still. Have fun on your trip. I take a 29 foot skoolie (I live in) up to the basin with no problem. I just can not take it down some of the gravel roads that have steep washes. The back of the bus will drag. Hope you guys are having fun. Big Bend is one of my favorite places so i try to get there 1 or 2 timea a year.

[@theRTWguys]

Yes, West Texas! It is a cool place for sure, and we will be back someday!

[@LisaRogerC]

Big Bend is beautiful and definitely leaves an everlasting impression. I remember visiting Big Bend when I was 11 and I still remember it like yesterday and that was 40 years ago. Great video as usual guys. Roger

[@theRTWguys]

For sure, thank you Roger! You definitely have to be back to Big Bend someday 😀 I'd love to go back when the border is open.

[@DesertNebula]

I love feeding roadrunners hahaha. U almost died in the restroom! Coffee of dooom

[@theRTWguys]

Coffee of doooom 🤣

[@Hsia_Travels]

wait until you get to CA. Diesel prices are at around $3.80-4.25 haha

[@theRTWguys]

Oh hahahaha that's very true 😂

Glad I found your channel (was searching for videos to plan for our Colorado trip next month). I live in East Texas and am pretty much addicted to Big Bend. We go there almost every year (12-hr drive). Yeah, the weather is crazy and was really bad in February. Not a usual weather, but we had -6 degrees (Low) then in 7 days it was 70 degrees (Hi). Big Ben is currently having a wild fire in Chisos Mountains started from south rim. It is sad, but it happened close to the Cotton Wood area 2 years ago, too.

I'm glad you found our channel helpful for planning your Colorado trip, and it's wonderful to hear about your love for Big Bend National Park! It sounds like you've had quite the range of weather experiences during your visits. The dramatic temperature fluctuations you mentioned are not uncommon in desert environments, where the temperature difference between day and night can be quite significant. I'm sorry to hear about the wildfire in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park. Wildfires are a natural part of many ecosystems, and while they can be destructive, they also play a role in the regeneration and renewal of the landscape. It's always important to stay informed about current conditions and follow any guidelines or closures put in place to ensure both visitor safety and the protection of the park's natural resources. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights, and I hope you have a fantastic time on your upcoming Colorado trip! If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to ask. Safe travels!
