Camel Treks in West Texas

 
Big Bend Treks

Camel-assisted walking treks in the Big Bend region of West Texas focusing on flora/fauna, history and prehistory. Camels carry all your gear and you will learn to load, unload and work the camels as you travel ranch roads, cattle trails, creek beds and mountain passes. Guests must be able to hike between 5 and 10 miles per day over varied terrain.

On these overnight or 3-day treks you will travel the same area that the historic U.S. Camel Corps explored in 1859 and 1860 on the Hartz/Echols expeditions. While the US military scouted fort locations and searched this area for better supply routes to the US/Mexican border, the present day treks combine desert scenery, history and ecology with the colorful part the Camel Corps played in settling the West!

All treks include knowledgeable guides/cooks, tranquil nights sleeping out under the stars and endless photo opportunities in the Big Bend region of Texas.

Overnight treks $650 per person, 3-day treks $950 per person. Kids 14 and under half price on all treks.
 

Monahans Sandhills Treks

An overnight, Camel assisted walking trek in Monahans Sandhills State Park focusing on flora/fauna, history and prehistory. Camels carry all your gear and you will learn to load, unload and work the camels as you move through the dunes. Guests must be able to hike between 3 and 5 miles per day in sand dunes.

Visually, Monahans Sandhills State Park appears to be a slice of the Sahara, taken out and placed in the West Texas desert. The awesome image of limitless sand dunes will transport you to another time and place. Simple, one-pot meals are standard fare and all gear and equipment is packed on the camels. This is as close to a true Saharan experience as you can get without going there.

Sleeping arrangements are basic, portable tents or simply out on the dunes if you like. This is truly roughing it, so make sure you know your own limits!

Total cost per person- $400 for overnight trek. Kids 14 and under half price. All meals, guides and State Park fees are included.
