"Get to know this 1.2-mile loop trail near Terlingua, Texas. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 30 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.
To get there you’ll need a vehicle that is small due to cliff drops (5-10 feet) on either side of the road - the van was too large to do it so we parked a few miles away and drove in with a friend in his Jeep Gladiator. Don’t even think about driving in with a trailer or an RV
Parking lot was pretty full so there is definitely a risk that you could drive in and have no where to park
Lots of interesting historical information along the hike
The hot spring was very crowded but people were friendly. If you waited a moment, a spot would usually open up.
The hike was flat and short, not really a hike and more of a walk along a dirt path
If you are going to Boquillas del Carmen, it’s worth the stop because it’s on the way there/back but if you were on the other side of the park it’s not worth it
Water was not “hot hot” at 105* but it was nice to jump in
People were jumping into the river and swimming across to Mexico
There was a bathroom at trail head (which is always nice)"
