ARE YOU PREPARED TO HAVE THE BEST SPRING BREAK OF YOUR LIFE!
What!? We need you to join us on an extravagant soul searching, site seeing, adventure in the alpines and canyons of Big Bend National Park in southern Texas. We will backpack the beautiful back country of massive park over the university’s spring break.
Big Bend includes and alpine biome in the middle of a canyon dessert, filled with some of the most legendary sights the Us has
The Plan! Get on the road asap on the Friday, drive to Oklahoma city where we will sleep the night and explore the city. Next morning book it the rest of the way to Big Bend, where we will confirm our route plan with the ranger.
Then after a good night’s rest, begin the 5 day backpacking adventure, highlighted by a layover day sunrise at the top of the 9000 ft Emory peak. Then reverse the travel process back to mad town!
Logistics: The cost for the rented car, hotel, food, and sight per person will be roughly $300.
Difficulty: the maximum distance for the whole backpacking portion will be 35 miles, which is not incredibly difficult, but will call upon your physical health and grit. The terrine can include dessert, canyon, rivers, and alpines.
