Travel Note

Driving From Louisiana to Terlingua

Depending on where in Louisiana you may be coming from, the drive is between 12 to 14 hours. While it is a long drive, it is easy to break it up with a pit stop in San Antonio to enjoy the beautiful river walk before heading out to the Ghost town! (make sure to stop by Mi Tierra's for the best Mexican pastries!) It is a straight shot drive down I-10 West until you hit US-67 South, just a few turns and you are in Terlingua. After passing San Antonio make sure to plan and track your gas stops, as they become sparse the further west you drive.
