Journey back in time and discover how early settlers, and the Native Americans who preceded them, survived and made their own ways of living in this remote and rugged land.  Mount up near the base of the Chisos Mountains and head west into the horizon following a dry creek bed to a series of rises where you will find a variety of native flora, including the “desert candle” (sotol), agarita and creosote.  Experience the northern-most part of the Chihuahuan Desert in its truest form.  From the highest point on the trail, you get an excellent view of the historical mining town of Terlingua.  Your lunch “reservations” are being held for your arrival at a grouping of abandoned stone corrals where you will be able to see an area rich with traces of ancient Indian camps.  You can still see where their meals were cooked deep in the fire-cracked rocks; and the spring that served as their water supply still flows today.  After lunch, you will ride to a point overlooking Apache Canyon. There the walls are lined with flint that seems as though it was painted with every shade of the perfect Big Bend sunset.  On your return trip, you will once again be greeted by the majestic Chisos Mountains rising toward the afternoon sky...the perfect end to a perfect day.
