Texas Overland, Where to?

So me and a couple buddies want to do a 4 day camping/wheeling trip. Were from Fort Worth so we need somewhere thats close enough for a one drive. Any Ideas?

 

I know the A&M off road club is joining us (All Wheel Tech from TTU) to our Alabama wheeling trip. I'll text some buddies see if I can get some more info.

Also, if y'all want, come to Sand Drags Feb 26-28th at the Canadian River north of Amarillo. 500+ vehicles come out to wheel from what I've heard. Stuff for everyone.
If you come, hope you've got a strong liver and can stand rednecks every direction. Also, you'll need a Texas Off-Highway Vehicle Program sticker or you'll get ticketed.

 

Hi! I am also looking for some good 3-5 day overlanding trips in TX. We live in east Tex and r just getting back into landing. Do you guys know of any local expos or Tacoma meets?

 

We need to do a big Texas Overland Expo. Who on TW would be the right person to start and organize something like that?

 

Yes!! I'm game. There are about 5-10 of us in my circle that will be very interested too!

 

My group is driving from Lubbock to San Antonio to Austin (where i'll join) to Houston to Gilmer for the off road meetup on the 17th, picking people up along the way. Y'all are more than welcome to join and head on up to the meet with us.

Also, always down for an overlanding expedition Big Bend has always been a good in-state road trip destination

 

im.in for some overlanding

 

You guys want to try out big bend in the spring?

 

or maybe fall? summer would probably be too hot..im sure some new mexico guys would join

 

Might be down for Big Bend

Hell if you y'all want to get the NM people involved we could always go to Las Cruises and watch everyone break drive shafts

 

Big Bend would be a great trip for a group. From the maps, photos, and YouTube videos, there looks to be a good range of trails from simple to more difficult...plus plenty of camping! Anytime would be good for me, I'd just need to put in for vacation. I agree as well- I think Summer might get a tad miserable out in the desert.

 

Yea June to September will be quite hellacious

 

Hidden Falls, Padre National Seashore(PINS) and Big Bend. Places i have been and would recommend for camping and wheeling.

 

For me, Hidden Falls wouldn't be an overland since its half an hour from my house. For an overland trip that would be fun for anyone, I feel Big Bend or Las Cruises (NM) would be the best. They're both all about off roading to see terrain and not to beat up your vehicles (You can avoid hard-core stuff in Las Cruises, although there are trails $80k+ crawlers try to no avail). If we go to either of these i'm bringing the mountain bike too

 

San Antonio you say...
I'm down for big bend.

 

I'm down to make a Big Bend trip happen, want to post a thread in the Texas section or here or?..

 

Don't disagree a bit on hidden falls. Big bend was awesome and would truly make for a more overland style trip. As would Las Cruises

 

Yeah comparing big bend to hidden falls is like comparing six flags to a kiddie park lol.

 

That ain't a lie lol. Being that they are coming from Ft. Worth figured it would be worth mentioning

 

Y'all coming to the Gilmer trip? Details for a Big Bend can be brought up there to a group in person.

Totally down for a Big Bend trip
