Description

Tascate is a small campsite for about eight people that provides the picnic table and fire ring that every site in the park has as well as the ruins of ranching days gone by in the form of old windmills and water tanks. What really separates this site from others, though, is the way in which it is sheltered in a broad canyon by tall, age-old rock walls that provide shelter from the sun in the sweltering summer months. The canyon is a blast to explore, and not getting a heat stroke thanks to that shade is also a blast.

We went in May 2015 with our pup. It was a gorgeous day trip from Marfa, though after lunch the ground was incredibly hot and we had to carry our 65lb dog from the car to the river. Take puppy boots!
