Quality over speed on Big Bend Backcountry.
We went Chisos Basin entry w/ East Rim side mileage starting at 5:10 AM dry air and steady sun meant layers changed fast after sunrise. No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections.
Preparation is everything.
Tips
- Tape hot spots before they blister.
- Break in boots at home.
