Quality over speed on Big Bend Backcountry.
We went Outer Mountain Loop sections from the Chisos side starting at 5:10 AM. Cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable. Tread was dry and clear w/ a few loose rock corners.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5.
Check conditions before you go.
