     Are you going to be visiting Big Bend National Park, Lajitas, or the surrounding area?  If you stay at the hotel located at Easter Egg Valley you will have a place to ride your bike right out side your door.  The Hotel is called Chisos Mining Company @ Easter Egg Valley.  Although the area is not marked there hills everywhere, and you don't have pesky things like grass, trees, etc. to get in the way.  Just Watch out for the cactus!

 

    As you can see, the terrain is very rocky but it provides a great place to spend a few hours every morning before you go to ride Big Bend and/or to spend an evening before lighting the campfire.

    Here you can see how close you are to the colorful cabins of the hotel.  You can also see that the mountain biking is great.  The hills provide an opportunity to practice your landing, and climbing skills by just walking out the front door.

 

    What goes up must come down.  If you like speed, you'll flying down these hills and if you like to climb you can try going up too.  Guess what, you don't need to bring water because you never leave your hotel.  In fact, some of the other guest may come out and watch.

    And yes, even yours truly tried his hand at launching off a few hills.  I only crashed one time.  After you try it let me know how you do!

 

    We got the entire family involved.  This is my older brother showing me how a bike is suppose to be ridden.  Don't forget about all the other trails in the area.  Just hit one of the links below to get to the trail lists.   Always remember, take care of the places you ride so the rest of us will have our chance to ride too.
