I LOVE ME SOME HOODOOS!⁠ 🏜️⁠ ⁠ Have you I LOVE ME SOME HOODOOS!⁠ 🏜️⁠
⁠
Have you heard of the Hoodoos Trail at @BigBendNPS?⁠ It's named for its unique rock formations. It's not as much of a trail but more an area to generally explore and frolic. 🪨⁠
⁠
The name might be funny but the weather isn't. This place is known for flash floods, which is the exact reason we couldn't hike the trails. It was also ~120 degrees that day so, no thanks. I'm not that obsessed with hiking. 🥵⁠
⁠
The Hoodoos is bordered by the Rio Grande River and mad props to anyone who actually makes it over the terrain to the other side. It's a pretty rugged, intense landscape and not for any novice to try and conquer. ⛰️⁠
⁠
Also, a lot of ppl don't realize there's the @BigBendRanchSP right next to Big Bend NP, and it was a filming location for old movies (i.e. Streets of Laredo).⁠ 📽️⁠
⁠
PS: Be mindful of wildlife and always bring plenty of water! 🚰⁠
⁠
👉️ Drop a🚶‍♀️in the comments if you'd hike this trail.⁠
⁠
📸 [ID]: Photo of a building that was used for old movies; the famous Rio Grande River, canyons and gorges with mountains in the backdrop; drowning hazard sign because of the flash floods in the area.⁠

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS?⁠ ⛰️
⁠
So, I didn’t even know that @guadalupemountainsnps was here tbh. It was a super spur of the moment add-on to our Texas road trip. What makes this park different is that it’s a trail-only park, so we didn’t see as much as we would’ve liked. 🥾
⁠
If you’re one of those people that actually loves trails and you make it here, check out the Devil’s Hall Trail and Salt Basin Dunes Trail. I always choose the shorter trails when I can cause I’m not built for hiking (i.e. my white sands reel). 🤭⁠
⁠
PS: If you’re someone who brings your furry friend everywhere you go, this park does NOT allow them on the trails. Just a heads up. 🐕️⁠
⁠
👉️ Are you a hiker or an observer?⁠
⁠
📸 [ID]: Video clips of the Guadalupe National Park entrance, and mountains, trees, and flowers inside of the park.⁠

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN ENTER MEXICO VIA BIG BEND?⁠ DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN ENTER MEXICO VIA BIG BEND?⁠ 🇲🇽⁠
⁠
It's true! You can cross the Rio Grande into Mexico from @BigBendNPS. The river is shallow enough that you can literally just walk across.🚶‍♀️⁠
⁠
There's actually an official border crossing there so we brought our passports (any seasoned traveler knows), but it's only open certain days, and not any of the days we were there (boo). BUT, you can pay a guy about $5 to row you across in his boat at the Boquillas Ferry Port, support the village. Trust me, it's nothing fancy. 🚣⁠
⁠
From there, it's about half mile walk to Boquillas del Carmen. The village is within a nature preserve and isn't frequented much but it's super cool. You know it's isolated because it has like one restaurant and one bar. 🌮⁠
⁠
👉️ Drop a 🤩 in the comments if you'd be down for this!⁠
⁠
📸 [ID]: Photo of an old building and classic cars in Marathon, TX, image of the Rio Grande river, photo of the Boquillas Crossing border sign, some old concrete shacks in Big Bend, and images of open terrain, greenery, and mountains in Big Bend.⁠

WHERE TO STAY AT BIG BEND.⁠ 🛌 ⁠ If you’re WHERE TO STAY AT BIG BEND.⁠ 🛌
⁠
If you’re going to Big Bend and don’t want to rough it in a tent or RV, then listen up!👂️⁠
⁠
First, you seriously need to book ahead of time, especially during peak season. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you’re staying at Big Bend overnight, I HIGHLY recommend booking inside the park. It’s literally the size of Rhode Island and everything else is a good distance away. I promise you don’t want to deal with that. 🚗⁠
⁠
We stayed at Chisos Mountain Lodge in @bigbendnps; the ONLY lodge available inside the park as part of the @aramark agreement with @nationalparkservice. It has a variety of rooms and cottages, plus a super cute gift shop, camper store, restaurant, and bar. The rooms aren’t super luxurious but with views like THIS, who tf cares? 🌄⁠
⁠⁠
If you want to book at Chisos Mountain Lodge, head over to @NationalParkReservations to learn more. 🛎️⁠
⁠
👉️ Have you ever stayed in a mountain lodge or are you a camper person?⁠

BIG ADVENTURE AT BIG BEND.⁠ 🥾 ⁠ I love nati BIG ADVENTURE AT BIG BEND.⁠ 🥾
⁠
I love national parks but let me tell you, this one was very difficult to get to⁠. There were only a couple of entrances and in 120-degree heat, I wasn’t trying to waste any time with logistics. 😅⁠
⁠
@bigbendnps is super remote and expansive. When you first see it, you’ll be looking like that emoji with the big eyes and open mouth because that’s just how massive this place is. 😳⁠
⁠
Bet you didn’t know...⁠

🏞️ Big Bend Is the largest park in the state of Texas and it’s even larger than the state of Rhode Island!⁠
⛰️ It’s the only national park with a mountain range entirely contained within its boundaries.⁠
🐦️ It has more species of birds than any other national park and is home to a diverse array of plants and animals.⁠
⁠
Speaking of wildlife, here’s some animal (and heat) safety tips for ya:⁠

🙅🏻‍♀️ NEVER feed the wildlife.⁠
🚮 Dispose of garbage properly.⁠
🐻 If you encounter a bear or mountain lion, don’t run! Slowly back away.⁠
🐍 Inspect shoes, sleeping bags, and bedding before use for insects, snakes, etc.⁠
🧢 Wear a hat, long pants, long-sleeved shirt, and sun screen.⁠
💧 Pack plenty of water and avoid hiking during mid-day heat in summer.⁠
⁠
And if you’re a trail-hiking person, there are several worth exploring. Of course, I had a slight mishap because that’s just a running theme here. When we got to the Santa Elena Canyon Trail, it was literally impassable because of prior heavy rains. Moral of the story: ALWAYS check the trails are open. DAILY. 🙃⁠
⁠
👉️ Drop a 🦂 in the comments if you’re an outdoor person who loves exploring!⁠

Taking the work off your hands and testing out ALL the cocktails this wild road trip. But—phew—balancing the booze and the “work” is the real struggle. (Of COURSE I don’t drink & drive.) 🍺⁠

@toyjoy: INDIE TOYS THAT BRING OUT THE KID IN EVEN @toyjoy: INDIE TOYS THAT BRING OUT THE KID IN EVEN THE CRUSTIEST ADULTS. 👵🏻

Toy Joy is where the unapologetically weird and the hilariously fun meet. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Parents can buy “normal” toys for their infants and children, while people reluctant to call themselves “adults” can browse the store for strange toys and funny objects that defy the ordinary. It’s a win-win. 💁🏻‍♀️

This has made it a popular stop for touring musicians as well as locals who take the slogan “Keep Austin Weird” to heart. 🤪

👉 Have you ever put a toy store on YOUR travel to-do list? If not, you’re missing out.

🎥 [ID]: Video clips of Toy Joy and Yummy Joy exterior and interiors. Audio asking if “I HAVE to be an adult?”

IF WEIRD & WONDERFUL IS YOUR THING, HAVE I GOT THE IF WEIRD & WONDERFUL IS YOUR THING, HAVE I GOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! 🤓

Austin’s @museumoftheweird is actually one of just a few “dime museums” left in the US. 🤔

Want to see a cyclops pig? A supposedly dried and pickled hand of a hanged man? A two-headed chicken? Shrunken heads? Or a human nail collection? It’s all here. 💁🏻‍♀️

👉 Do you know what a dime museum is? Have you been to one before?

🎥 [ID]: Video clips of Austin’s Museum of the Weird with overlaid audio, “In case you didn’t know, I’m weird.”
