A great spot for the outdoors-lover in Big Bend National Park.
Born from volcanic activity more than 35 million years ago, the Chisos Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the Chihuahuan desert. The Chisos hold two honors: not only are they the southernmost mountain range in the continental US, but they are also the only mountain range to be contained entirely within a National Park. Some of the best hiking trails that get you up close and personal to the Chisos have trailheads that begin in the Chisos Basin near the Chisos Mountains Lodge. Favorites here include the South Rim, Lost Mine, and Window Trails. You can also hike to Emory Peak, the highest point in the Chisos Mountains at 7,825 ft (2,385 m) above sea level. Hiking in the mountains provides a totally different experience than desert or river hikes. Take into consideration the altitude, heat and sun. Always hike with adequate water, at least 2-3 liters. And at sunrise/sunset – look for the alpenglow!

Highest peak in Texas at 8,749 feet.
Among other things in Guadalupe National park, we hiked to the Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas. It is a wonderful hike, and though there are some sections that are moderately strenuous it is not that bad. The "summit" is well worth the effort and the views are superb. And, C'mon, it's the highpoint of Texas!! You get to brag to your family and friends about that for sure. DO IT, but allot most of a day to manage it.

The highest peak in the park at 7,835 feet.
Difficult, day long hike, be ready to climb; nave good shoes etc. with you. Pretty rough the last mile; especially last 50 yards, if you want to reach the real top, you really need to climb, and not afraid of heights. BEST HIKE of the park; personally not recommended for (small) kids.
