Trail description

A 9.1 km hike in Big Bend National Park from the Chisos Basin Trailhead up the Laguna Meadows Trail, the more gradual of the two ways up, to the stunning vistas from the South Rim of the Chisos Mountains. The full South Rim hike is a 12 to 14.5 mile (19 to 23 km) round trip with a 2,000-foot (610 m) climb. The Northeast and Southeast Rim trails close from February 1 through May 31 to protect nesting peregrine falcons.
