Trail Overview

The Juniper Canyon Trail is an out-and-back at Big Bend National Park in Texas. It's a very scenic drive that offers access to a trailhead and 2 campsites with 360-degree views. The Twisted Shoe campsite is highly recommended. All campsites in the park require a permit. This trail is rocky the entire way so ground clearance will be required. Big Bend is extremely remote so come prepared. Cell service is nonexistent so be sure to download offline maps.

Difficulty

This trail should be suitable for most stock SUVs with ground clearance. It would be a good idea to have 4WD in Big Bend.

Rough with some ruts and washes here and there. We went in to Robber’s Roost and took it pretty slow just because it was late but was able to go faster on the way with daylight. Nothing too technical, just rough. Few people were coming down here to get to the trailhead all the way back.
