Photo notes from Big Bend Backcountry.
We went Chisos Basin entry with East Rim side mileage starting at 6:25 AM. Cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable. Route stayed obvious, with minor wash marks in low spots.
Midday light was harsh but the shadows added drama.
Still thinking about this one.
