Experience the Big Bend HOP – SOLD OUT. WAIT LIST ONLY
September 18 - September 25
Location: Big Bend Area, Texas
Escapees have a relaxed and fun-filled time lined up for you!
The area you will visit is like no other; there are radiant night skies, cowboy hospitality, friendly folks, where the stars at night are big and bright, and the skies are not cloudy all day!
Several activities and tours are arranged on this HOP, and there is a wide array of places to see, things to do, and activities to choose from while in the Big Bend area.
Are you an avid golfer? Don’t forget your golf clubs!
The Big Bend is the most diverse dry region in the world. The Chisos Mountains and the Chihuahuan Desert cover more than half of the Big Bend, and various animal species take refuge in them. Desert cacti bloom in a beautiful bouquet of colors, and the animal life is bustling in the mornings. During this 7-day HOP, we’ll explore the region and its wildlife with professionally guided Jeep tours and Master Naturalist sessions. Come and learn about the climate, plants and animals that call this area home.
The mountains, deserts and the river make this area a fantastic outdoor playground for hiking, biking, birding, canoeing, rafting, kayaking and beautiful scenic drives.
The adventure doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Possibilities are incredibly high that you can listen to great music after a fabulous dinner or just relax at the campfire, meet new Escapees friends, sip on your favorite beverage and share your adventures of the day.
Expect to have a fun-filled week on this HOP! Meet amazing friends and take away new lifetime memories of your time in the Big Bend! The Big Bend is a unique experience and sharing it with fellow Escapees makes it even more special.
