Done Big Bend Backcountry a few times now. Here is the latest.
We went Outer Mountain Loop sections from the Chisos side starting at 6:50 AM. Cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable. No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections.
Ratings: 4 overall, 5 difficulty, 5 scenery.
10/10 would recommend.
