Santa Elena to west entrance

Old Maverick Road GP

An easy road from Santa Elena to the west entrance of Big Bend National Park.

A rather mundane road through land abused by overgrazing, farming and cutting trees for mining operations.

There is a badland on the east side of the road near the north end.

There is a GPS - gpx track file at the bottom of the page.

Luna's Jacal is a prime example of primitive house-shelters built by the pioneers that settled the area. Luna farmed along Alamo Creek and had a small herd of goats. He died at the age of 108 after outliving several wives.
