Solo Motorcycle Camping Trip to Big Bend | West Texas Road Trip on a Harley Davidson

Published 2023-03-27
I'm riding a 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special in this video, courtesy of @harleydavidson. This is my first time riding an adventure bike! Be sure to watch the entire series to see my entire motorcycle trip unfold.
Places we'll see:
ποΈ Pecos Bridge: The highest highway bridge in Texas cross the mighty Pecos River and serves as the boundary for what is considered to be West Texas.
ποΈ Langtry Ghost Town: Also known as the Eagles Nest, Langtry was once a booming west texas town and served as a locomotive stop. Today, it's home to a handful of residents, the Juge Roy Bean museum, numerous historical markers, and a general store.
ποΈ Desert Air Motel: This renovated 1960s motel in Sanderson is a welcome site to travelers along highway 90.
ποΈ Marathon, Texas: Considered a gateway town to Big Bend, Marathon features a handful of restaurants, the historic Gage hotel, art galleries, and installations.
ποΈ Big Bend National Park: Big Bend is one of the most Adventure Bike friendly places in Texas when the dirt roads are passable. It's also a great place to go motorcycle camping in the cooler months. We'll be checking out the Chisos Basis, the Window Trail, Dinosaur Exhibit, star gazing, and more.
ποΈ DB's Rustic Iron BBQ: Terlingua is a gateway town to Big Bend and is a popular stop for tourists looking for a bite to eat. While places like the Starlight Theatre are common bucket list stops, DB's Rustic Iron BBQ has some of the best BBQ in Brewster county.
ποΈ The River Road: Highway 170 between Lajitas and Presidio is probably the best motorcycle ride in Texas.
ποΈ Marfa, Texas: This quirky west texas town is known for its artsy residents who have, over the years, brought life back to the town. We'll be grabbing tacos and checking out a saloon before riding Highway 17 through the Davis Mountains.

Thanks so much for a great video and tips on great places to see and awesome places to eat! As I watched you ride through West Texas in that golden light, I had to look outside at my own bike and realize that it's ZERO DEGREES this morning(!), so watching and listening to a ab/fab trip through that scenic country was just the fix I needed! Now I am really anxious for our snow to finally melt so I can head south to check out the places you mentioned! Wicked Awesome! Happiness is not just around the next curve, it is the curve! Keep riding!

Wow, Staci, youβve outdone yourself on this one! Beautiful drone segments. Fantastic colors during the golden hours. Youβre not biased as a native - West Texas is beautiful! Iβve been to Big Bend six times - canβt get enough of this park.

Thank you for sharing your adventures. I get to see parts of this beautiful country that I might have missed, and see places that I'll put on my bucket list. Ride safe little sister, may God keep you safe, and give you a long ride thru life.

Super excited to watch this one. The Big Bend has been my home-away-from-home since the late 90's, and i'm super jazzed to be finally riding the OldWing through there in just a couple of weeks. Checking out some new roads you're covering in these videos, THANK YOU for the preview! I look forward to more great content from you.
