Rock Hunting in the Big Bend of Texas with Teri Smith, Texas, United States
5.0 (22 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in Alpine Nature & Wildlife Tours
Amazing Experience
Spend a day with Teri you’ll be rewarded in so many ways. Not only does she give you an excellent overview before going into the field; she also will spend extra time to help you get situated and will help identify your finds. We decided to go on two trips with her (Needle Peak and South Larremore Ranch). Both are very different terrain and offer different finds. Being a rock hound, I jumped at the chance to check out both of these private lands. Our three year old daughter, who also loves rocks in general, had a great time as well. Teri went out of her way to make sure she had fun and found some great treasures. If you want to add a different kind of excursion to your Big Bend trip, definitely check out Teri’s website to see when her next trip will take place.

Teri Smith is a top-notch rock hunt guide!
I've been on three separate rock hunts with Teri (South Larramore and Singleton Ranches, and East Needle Peak), and I'm quite surprised and dissapointed at those who give her less than an excellent rating! Teri has always been very hospitable and will bend over backwards trying to make things right. And, all at no charge for her services. She cannot help it if a ranch or landowner suddenly changes their mind about sponsoring a hunt. And, from what I've read, most complainers are the ones at fault themselves, for not reading their email. C'mon folks .... Teri is the real deal in West Texas rock hunts! And, before you depart, please leave a donation to help defray her costs, for hauling our butts all across the Big Bend region!

Al that, and more....
I am not big on writing reviews so I will just put that out there at the start. I only write reviews when I believe I have had an experience that few can offer, or a guide that really is something special. When I was in my 20's I climbed every peak in the National Park. I thought my acumen and knowledge of the area was pretty solid. Terri is smarter than me! As an avid collector of agate with cabbing experience I thought I had a good bead on what would cut well. Terri knows better than I. You get the picture. Terri is as good as it gets. She is kind, nice, and a true pleasure to have as a guide. MC- Schertz Texas
