If weather turns, what backup plan makes sense for Big Bend Backcountry?
Asked Feb 135 views1 answer
Forecast is mixed for my Big Bend backcountry permit date. Outlook mentions cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable.. Route is Chisos Basin entry with East Rim side mileage. What is a smart backup that still makes the permit day useful?

Pick one clear decision point before you start, then commit to it. If conditions slip, treat the forecast as real and adjust early instead of trying to force the full plan.
You can still have a great day by shortening the route and staying in the safest terrain.
