Window Trail:
The trailhead for the Window is located in the Chisos Mountain Basin. The hike is of medium difficulty as we will descend 800 feet in elevation and return up the same path. On the way down to the Window, you will pass through an area of open chaparral vegetation and then traverse through beautiful Oak Creek Canyon with it's small tinajas where deer can be seen watering and feeding. At the Window the canyon narrows to only 20 feet and looking out you get a panoramic view of the desert below where Terlingua Ghost Town is visible in the distance on clear days.
Lost Mine Trail:
The trailhead is at Panther Pass in the Chisos Mountains and serves as an excellent introduction to the plants and animals of the high Chisos Mountains. It starts at 5600 foot elevation and goes upward along the north slope of Casa Grande Peak to the summit with it's spectacular views at an elevation of 6850.
Cat Tail Falls:
This hike starts from a spur road off the Ross Maxwell Scenic drive at the base of the Chisos Mountains. Cat Tail Falls has water year round and is a unique and fragile eco system abundant in trees, ferns, cattails and spring and summer flowers. This is one of the few places to see long stemmed Yellow Columbine in the Big Bend. Very lush and very quiet. Butterflies and birds abound in this desert oasis.
