I love the big bend area, especialy the river road through the state park. The food is incredible, the roads are superb, and the the desolate beuty of that area makes Big Bend a "must do" for bikers.

We based out of alpine, and I was happy with that. Marfa would be good too though. I'd like to stay the night on top At the national park next time I'm there for at least one night.
