The River Road: 3 Secrets We Couldn't Fit in the Documentary

Planning a trip to Big Bend? Most people miss the best part of the desert. In Episode 1 of "Beyond the Trail," we’re exploring the legendary River Road (FM 170) and the 3 stops you absolutely cannot skip. The River Road is often called the most beautiful drive in America, but it’s also one of the most unforgiving. After years of shooting video in the Big Bend region, me, Grant Kauffman, along with my business partner Renee Layson are opening up our field notebooks to help you navigate this terrain like a pro. In this guide, we dive deep into the volcanic history of the Hoodoos, the film lore of Dom Rock, and the hidden depths of Closed Canyon. If you love the geography in this guide but want to see the deeper, cinematic stories about the people, the history and mystery of this extraordinary West Texas region called Big Bend, check out our soon to be award-winning documentary series, Expedition: Tales of the Big Bend. 👉 Watch the "Expedition" Series here:    • EXPEDITION: TALES OF THE BIG BEND   CHAPTERS 0:00 The Most Beautiful Drive in Texas 0:51 Beyond the Trail: The River Road Three-Fer 1:15 Stop 1: The Hoodoos (Volcanic Secrets) 2:42 Stop 2: Dom Rock (Fandango Lore & Views) 5:23 Stop 3: Closed Canyon (The Desert's Deepest Slot) 8:06 The River Road: A Rite of Passage (Next Stop: The Hot Springs) #BigBend #TexasTravel #RiverRoad #NationalPark #ClosedCanyon #WildYetiTV #BeyondTheTrail #HikingTexas Subscribe to WildYetiTV for more great content from Wild Yeti Films:    / @wildyetitv   Follow us on SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram:   / wildyetifilms   Facebook:   / wildyetifilms   Twitter:   / wildyetitv   Website: https://www.wildyetifilms.com BONUS: If you like true, historic crime stories, be sure to check out our new channel, Gaslight & Gallows: America's Dark Histories here:    / Канал   Beyond the Trail Produced and Directed by: Grant Kauffman and Renee Layson Narration by: Grant Kauffman Edited by: 12 Rounds Media Social Media The Social Sharks Stock Footage and Music: MotionArray Storyblocks Artlist
