Explore Big Bend

Jos was a wonderful guide!!! She is an extremely knowledgeable botanist who is a longtime local in Terlingua who also knows birds, fauna, and geology. By the end of our wonderful hike, I was very inspired, curious and educated! A few times I was crawling around next to the trail, eyeing a tiny flowering plant or cactus and hearing from Jos why the colors were a certain hue or why similar species were grouped on a hillside or why the plants were camouflaged by the rocks! Highly recommend!!!

Rarely use guides but wanted to get a solid understanding of Big Bend before doing some solo hikes. Very glad i did! Jocelyn has both the academic and field knowledge (plants, birds, geology, ecology etc.) as well as a deep reservoir of park history and local community lore to make anyone's appreciation of Big Bend that much richer. Helped me sort out the yuccas and beargrass and sotols, and i learned all about the different chollas, too. She really knows her stuff. Definitely recommend!

OMG, I’ve never hired a guild before but I’m addicted thanks to Joselyn. She really customized the trails and experience based on my desires and abilities. She was a bundle of knowledge about the park and especially the plants and geology. It was the best experience to a National park that I’ve had.
