We spent the last day at Big Bend enjoying our best hike yet, while here, clambering around Chisos Mountain. While keeping one eye trained on the close ledge, one eye on the path avoiding snakes, and the other two eyes scanning for bears or mountain lions we were able to get to the top in record time. Take away the constant stops for asthma breaks and low blood sugar readings I’m sure it had to be some sort of McGaff record!
Left today for quick stop in Del Rio then on to Gardner State Park to close out this adventure. What can go wrong in our remaining three nights…hang on for details?!
Un sello mas.
To the top…
Oh my.

“I’m not tired, you’re tired!”

Thanks for the heads up about the RV park. I made a note of it.
Once again, you’ve done a great job of recording your adventure. The “Activity” summary was a unique addition. What is not captured by the summary of your walk is altitude. In the Chisos basin area the altitude ranges between 6000 and 7000 feet.
Back in 1974, Jim joined us in Big Bend and we walked one of the Chisos trails together. I think I could still do it, but very slowly.

I did remember seeing a sign that we were around 6000’ when we started. It was a nice easy climb just a long way with plenty of climbers taking their time. We came across a 76 year old gentleman on the way down who was getting ready to go in for double knee replacement, he was really taking it easy and leaning on his sticks.
