There is a place of miracles; a place where a great river actually runs through a desert; a place forged in fire, where ancient volcanoes surround a prehistoric sea; where the sun sets twice each day; a place where you will set aside civilization as you know it and come to know wilderness – and maybe yourself – better than you ever have before.

Explore more than one million acres of national and state parkland. Float in silence beneath towering canyon walls. Hike through 300 million years of history in one afternoon. See fossils that speak of another age and stone walls that speak the language of the ancients.

Ride an ATV over trails previously traveled only by horses, burros, and yes, camels. Journey in a jeep over a lava dome to the top of a mountain and marvel as the setting sun paints delicate pastel shades on mountains to the east before finally settling in the west, casting its fiery tendrils from behind one of Mexico’s grandest ranges. Come to Big Bend. Come share the miracles with us. If you have been to this great slice of Texas or you're considering a first trip, the Far Flung Outdoor Center is your outpost for outdoor education and adventure.
