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.
