In this revised edition of ADVENTURES IN THE BIG BEND, Jim Glendinning offers a completely updated and even more comprehensive review of the beautiful Big Bend region. Described in this edition are six different national and state parks, eight adventures for the energetic visitor, and detailed mile-by-mile directions for five driving routes, including backcountry roads. Lodgings, restaurants, and events in fourteen different communities are also included.

Learn how to book a luxury resort in the desert or a rustic cabin in the Davis Mountains, where to view world famous art or listen to cowboy poetry, dance under the stars, eat barbecue, raft the Rio Grande, or hike to 7,835 feet – the variety is enormous.

Still a mystery to many, remote and wonderful as always, Big Bend is ready to reveal its secrets to the reader of ADVENTURES IN THE BIG BEND.
