Safety considerations for Big Bend Backcountry:
We went Outer Mountain Loop sections from the Chisos side starting at 6:25 AM. Cool morning temps made long exposed miles feel manageable. No major blowdown, just loose gravel in steep sections.
Key considerations: Trust the cairns.
That is the summary.
