Background

Big Bend sits in a remote bend of the Rio Grande in far West Texas, and the trick in the warm months is the Chisos Mountains — a cool, green island of high country rising out of the desert, with the Window, Lost Mine, and the South Rim up top.

If you go

Big Bend sits in a remote bend of the Rio Grande in far West Texas, and the trick in warm months is the Chisos Mountains — a cool, green island of high country rising out of the desert. The Window, Lost Mine, and the South Rim are the hikes up there. The desert and river floors are brutally hot in summer, so the Chisos are where you want to be. It’s far from everything; top off fuel and water before you commit.
