Desert Sports was founded in the late 1980’s by Mark Mills and operated out of Lajitas. After a few changes in hands and location moves, Desert Sports was incorporated in 1996 by Jim Carrico, former superintendent of Big Bend National Park and Mike Long, long-time river guide and mountain bike enthusiast. Jim has retired, and passed the torch to Crystal Allbright, an artist, musician and a lover of the outdoors. We are still going strong after bouts of drought, economic recessions, border closures and a pandemic.
