"We started hiking at sunset into the night with headlamps to guide our way while my friend navigated us with his GPS as this is a trail-less hike. Throughout the journey we took a couple wrong turns meeting deep canyons that made us backtrack, but we finally go to our destination around midnight while the moon lit up the canyon.
We pitched our tent and woke up to the most amazing sunrise in the most beautiful and secluded place.
The 18+ miles roundtrip was hard, but so worth it for one of the most indescribable experiences and journeys I've ever taken."

Awakening to Mule Ears
Big Bend National Park is one of the biggest national parks, it’s even bigger than Rhode Island. Yet it’s also one of the least visited parks which means if you’re looking for solitude and incredible night skies – this is the place to be.
Camp Deception
It’s a slight bummer when the reverse gear of your 1975 VW Bus craps out while parked near a steep drop-off, but at least you can still camp out in it while waiting for the overall situation to improve.
Rainier Road
Mt. Rainer Wilderness is a solid spot to spend the first night camping in a new VW Westfalia.
