Another Big Bend Backcountry in the books. We went Dodson and Blue Creek combo w/ a one-night camp starting at 6:50 AM. Cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable. No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=5 Worth every bit of effort.
