Experience one of Texas' greatest wildlife conservation success stories with this exclusive guided photo safari for two (2) at Elephant Mountain Wildlife Management Area in the rugged Trans-Pecos region of West Texas.
Hosted alongside Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists, this rare opportunity provides behind-the-scenes access to restricted areas of Elephant Mountain WMA not open to the public. Guests will have the chance to observe and photograph Texas bighorn sheep in their native mountain habitat while learning firsthand about TPWD's ongoing bighorn sheep restoration, habitat management, and conservation efforts from the biologists leading the work.
This exceptional package also includes one night's accommodations at the historic Hotel Paisano in nearby Marfa, Texas. Famous for its rich West Texas heritage and as the headquarters for the filming of the classic movie Giant, Hotel Paisano provides the perfect base camp for exploring the spectacular landscapes of the Trans-Pecos while enjoying classic Texas hospitality.
Far more than a traditional tour, this immersive experience offers a unique look into one of the most inspiring wildlife restoration programs in Texas history and the wild landscapes where these iconic animals now thrive once again.
Ideal for wildlife photographers, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, this package delivers an unforgettable opportunity to experience wild Texas at its most remote and untamed while enjoying one of West Texas' most iconic destinations.
