Just in time for you to start planning your fall Mountain Biking trip to the Big Bend, Desert Sports is very pleased to present to you a whole new look at Day Rides for Mountain Bikers. Most all our day trips are either in the rugged Big Bend Ranch State Park or on the fantastic Lajitas Resort Trail System. The listings are some of our favorite day rides in this area. We are offering options from some fairly short easy cruising to some of the more challenging sections of the Contrabando Trail System and venturing up into the Fresno Creek area. Check out the new information we have posted on our Mountain Biking Day Rides Page, http://www.desertsportstx.com/mountain-biking/day-rides/ .
We have attempted to rate the difficulty of the rides as well as a brief description of the ride itself. If you have questions feel free to contact us and one of our trails experts will be happy to talk to you about the different options. Custom itineraries are always available if you have a group with special considerations, whether you are looking for novice jeep roads or training camp for your Mountain Bike Club or Racing Team.
The riding season here in Big Bend is generally from October through the end of April, but if you are here during the warmer months of the year we can still do some of these rides if you are willing to get up and out on the trail early in the day.
Stay tuned for more new Multi-Day camping trips for folks looking to spend some quality time exploring the backcountry of Big Bend Ranch State Park.

Howdy! Welcome to the revamped Desert Sports website. We’ve decided to join the 21st century, and we hope you enjoy our new format. You’ll still see some of our old pages: the daily report, Big Bend info, and details on our guided tours, rentals and shuttles. Here are some new things you will find:
This blog for one. We’ll be posting current happenings with mountain bike trails and river trips. You’ll read local news from the Big Bend including the state park, the national park and local area. In addition to our Daily Report, we’ll be giving you updates on river use requirements and upcoming local and Desert Sports’ events. You can also sign up for RSS feed—so you’ll know when we post a new blog.
Looking on our website for information on a specific topic? Use our search feature to cover all the bases.
We’ve added some new itineraries for mountain biking in the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Stay tuned for new hiking and combination tour itineraries. We’ll be scheduling dates for some of our favorite tours, so check out our Featured Trips for your favorite activity.
We’ve kept some of the classic images, but now we’ve added many more. Check out the new photo galleries, including our Lower Canyons River Tours and our Mountain Biking Tours.
Now there’s a page featuring the Desert Sports store. If you’ve visited our shop near the Terlingua Ghost Town, then you may have bowled with Rubia, the dog, or sat on the adobe banco and watched the hooping at sunset. We wanted to dedicate a page to our funky, little shop in the blue and orange adobe building where we meet for trips, repair bikes and keep a supply biking accessories and outdoor retail.
We’ll continue to post gathered information on area weather and river levels on our Daily Report page so keep it bookmarked.
Let exploring the Desert Sports new website connect you to your next adventure in the Big Bend.
