Road TripsAbout LajitasLajitas (la-HEE-tas) is the Spanish word for “flagstones,” which are noticeable in the area. The village was first established in 1915 when an Army post was stationed to protect the Big Bend area from the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa.
Known as the home of the late beer-drinking goat Clay Henry, Lajitas also serves as a base from which to explore Big Bend National Park, 20 miles east. Westbound travel on FM 170, also called The River Road, affords spectacular scenery as the paved highway climbs mountains and plunges into canyons along the Rio Grande.

AAA’s in-person hotel evaluations are unscheduled to ensure the inspector has an experience similar to that of members. To pass inspection, all hotels must meet the same rigorous standards for cleanliness, comfort and hospitality. These hotels receive a AAA Diamond designation that tells members what type of experience to expect.
As a AAA member, you'll save even more. Your AAA Travel Agent will check to see if AAA Vacations is combinable with other AAA member benefits, plus cruise and tour past passenger discounts and benefits.
