Dog beta for Big Bend Backcountry.
We went Dodson and Blue Creek combo w/ a one-night camp starting at 5:10 AM. Wind on ridges was steady but never pushed us off pace. Route stayed obvious, w/ minor wash marks in low spots.
Already planning the next one.
Tips
- Know the bail-out options.
- Move over for faster hikers.
