This is a hike we did of the Window Trail in Big Bend National Park. We did this trip several years back and it took us a majority of the day thanks to being horribly out of shape. We set records on this trail this time. I hope you enjoy it.

About the Park:
Welcome to the largest national park in Texas and the United States’ 13th largest national park. It’s over 800,000 acres with seemingly endless trails, roads and vistas. From the park’s north entrance, the first impression is rather mundane – a typical desert landscape with distant mountains decorating the horizon. This impression will last a while as you will drive, drive, then drive some more. But do not despair. There are gems to be found. One might be around the next turn.
It feels like there are three parks in one. You have the Chisos Basin in the center, the Castolon Visitor Center in the Southwest, and Rio Grande Village in the Southeast. They are all 20-30 miles from each other. With the speed limit only reaching 45 miles per hour, the rather small distances turn into lengthy drives. In other words, don’t expect to see all of the park in one day.
The color variety was spectacular, especially when I was there in February. The Bluebonnets (the state flower of Texas) were in full bloom. Not only did they perfectly contrast to the traditional desert colors, their aroma was wonderful. I did miss the cactus bloom by a few weeks, but maybe I’ll can catch this another time. Don’t forget to catch a sunset. The skies and landscape work well together to provide stunning views.
For a desert, water was quite easy to find. Bright green trees lined the creeks and streams. The Oak Spring in the Chisos Basin, provided tranquil waterfalls at the end of the Windows Trail hike. And, of course, the Rio Grande River provided some refreshment and scenic beauty near the Rio Grande Village and especially along the Santa Elena Canyon hike (my favorite one in the park).
The Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive is a must. In my opinion, it was the most beautiful part of the park. Along the way, you have the opportunity to take many short hikes and there are plenty of pull-offs to take the perfect picture. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, be sure to explore the many primitive roads. Some are rougher than others.
A unique aspect of the park is the border crossing to the Mexican town of Boquillas del Carmen. This small village is a 3.5 hour drives to the nearest town. Wade through the Rio Grande River or pay a small fee to paddle boat across. I enjoyed a margarita and very tasty tamales. Remember to bring you passport and a sense of adventure.
Big Bend will not disappoint. Just don’t rush to judgement until you explore the entire park. The variety of hikes, views, and experiences make this park special. From the top of Emory Peak to the cool Rio Grande River, you are certain to find a gem that will occupy your memory forever.
TOP 15. Things to Do in Big Bend National Park, Texas
Big Bend National Park, Texas
From Houston to the Window Trail at Big Bend National Park.
The Window Trail leads directly to the Window, a large rock canyon that cuts through the Chisos Mountains rim, allowing drainage from the Basin to the Chihuahuan Desert.
Approximately the last 0.25 mile of the hike traverses the slickrock canyon where footing becomes more difficult. There are rock steps, slippery wet surfaces, and several stream crossings.
During the time we went, it was hot and the water has disappeared. The last state of the trail, therefore, kinda easier to reach than water season. The view is fantastic and a bit scary since you can fall into the gulf with just a few more steps. Overall, this trail is not really hard and it worths your effort :)

Backpacking the Chisos Mountains | Big Bend National Park | Austin, TX
Backpacking through Big Bend National Park over Thanksgiving 2019.
Big Bend is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Driving in it gave me a similar impression to Death Vally, but then the Chisos Mountains come into view. The Chisos Mountain Range is totally contained within Big Bend National Park which is very unique. The tallest point (Emory Peak) is at 7,825' above sea level. The mountains provide incredible views out over the ultra-flat plains that surround them. Thanksgiving is supposedly one of the busiest days of the year at Big Bend, but you wouldn't know it. I would compare it to a slow day at Mt. Rainier National Park. Texas is not the first state that comes to mind when you think hiking, but this park is worth the trip.
