Cole & Tenderfoot: Texas Road Trip Adventures
Cole is a cowboy kid with a big grin and a bigger curiosity. Tenderfoot is his best friend, a Native American boy with one feather in his braid and a knack for noticing what other people miss. Together they take short Texas road trips, swap real facts, and leave a little wonder behind.
Each episode is about one minute long and ends with a link to a printable Lone Star Road Trip planner, so families can turn the story into a real weekend.
FTC disclosure: This page includes links to our own printable planners. If you buy one, the sale supports Lone Star Road Trip. Park fees, hours, and road conditions change — verify with official sources before you go.
Episode: Heading to Big Bend
Cole and Tenderfoot buckle up for Big Bend National Park and take turns sharing the facts. They watch a golden eagle over the Rio Grande, hear Tenderfoot’s howl echo through Santa Elena Canyon’s 1,500-foot walls, and spot a shooting star under some of the darkest skies in Texas. Cole even says Big Bend has the biggest sky in Texas.
A 10-page printable with daily plans, water and fuel checks, and a reservation log. Also in the shop. Want the full planning notes? Read the Big Bend guide.
