A Glimpse of Nature | Big Bend National Park
This was our second time visiting Big Bend and the Chisos Mountains Trail system and we almost bit off a little more than we could chew. We arrived at night and hiked up to the campsite at BM2 to set up in the dark. The first full day we descended the mountain from BM2 all the way down the Window Trail and then to Cattail Falls. We had a quick lunch break and then went right back up the mountain arriving at CO1 campsite after dark. We clocked about 9 hours of walking and burned around 4000 calories that day alone. On the final day we hiked the South Rim Trail and then came back down the mountain on the Laguna Meadows Trail.

There is a patch of dirt on the side of the road where 1871 meets the river that a few cars can fit on.

    • @ExperienceEarth8
      @ExperienceEarth8 2 роки тому

      Hey Justin, the stability is great! The only downside I will say when it comes to running rapids is that this specific model cannot fit a skirt, so it will begin to fill up with water, requiring you to dump it out after a few decent ones. Still a great option to get out on the water in my opinion though ✌️
