it was DUSTY. we all mentioned it looked like 3 tornados going down the road when we got off the trial on onto pavement. LoL

the trails took a day each. mostly due to the long drive to the trail heads. mostly easy trails with some moderate obsticals. but there are so many trails that we didnt get a chance to do any others. i think we all will agree we had a great time.

yes we were in a pink condo. the town of Terlingua reminded me of "Tremors" that 80's Kevin Bacon movie. we kept looking for Reba. LoL

The bar was kick ass. had that "From Dusk Till Dawn" feel and look. cheap beer, good food, and live music.

Black Gap was the first and 2nd trails we did. very easy but we got a laugh when hearing about a land rover vid on youtube. it explained how to get through black gap in a land rover. the guys took some time stacking up all the rocks. LoL. i would rate it a 0 trail.:thefinger: thats "Land Rover Pass"

Big Bend is the pretty much the whole reason I got a Jeep. Been wanting to go down there and go feral in the desert for about a week. Maybe next year.

We did Big Bend in 2006. Jeep trails one day, hiking the next. Most, if not all, of the back country roads, including Black Gap could be done in my tow vehicle. It was still very enjoyable to get out and make the drives! I would do it again in a heart beat.

For thos that like to hike Pine Canyon Trail was amazing!

Yes it is. I've hiked just about every trail in the Chisos.
