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.

There are large stands of ocotillo along the road.  We were lucky enough to visit when they were in bloom.  Note that they can bloom without leaves.
