3-day on Big Bend Backcountry. Key observations below.
Route: Chisos Basin entry w/ East Rim side mileage. Weather: Wind on ridges was steady but never pushed us off pace.. Trail: No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections.. Water: We treated every known source as uncertain and carried extra.. Crowds: moderate.
Days like this are why I hike.
