The permit/parking/access details for Big Bend Backcountry.
We went Outer Mountain Loop sections from the Chisos side starting at 6:50 AM. Wind on ridges was steady but never pushed us off pace. No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4
Bottom line: Break in boots at home.
Already planning the next one.
