Overview

What's the best overland trail in the state of Texas? One could easily argue Fresno Canyon Road takes the prize. This fun trail takes travelers back in time. The ancient inhabitants of this ara left petroglyphs deep in Fresno Canyon. Abandoned farm ruins provide a glimpse into the lives of more modern settlers. The views never stop as the trail hugs towering cliff walls with the occasional glimpses of the hills of the Solitario to the east. The trail is challenging enough to make the drive even more interesting. For anyone seeking an iconic offroad adventure in the Big Bend Ranch State Park, Fresno Canyon Road is an absolute must-do!
