Off-road
Glenn Springs Road, Big Bend National Park, Texas
View Original Description
The Glenn Spring Road skirts the east side of the Chisos Mountains, then bounces over the southwest corner of Chilicotal Mountain to Glenn Spring, a lush desert spring. Here in 1914 a large candelilla wax camp was constructed. The numerous dry washes along this road may become extremely rough after heavy rains, making four-wheel drive necessary. As it descends from Glenn Springs to the River Road, it generally becomes smoother.
Some side trips include:
Pine Canyon Road 4 miles (6km): From the Glenn Springs Road this short road climbs gradually into Pine Canyon and provides access the Pine Canyon Trail.
Juniper Canyon Road 5 miles (8km): From the Glenn Springs Road this short road leads to the Juniper Canyon Trail and Dodson Trail junction. This road is rocky and and usually requires 4WD.
