Window Hike at Big Bend National Park

This is one of our favorite hikes in the area...it has a big payoff at the turnaround point...this dramatic view from the Window! 

From Big Bend National Park's website:

Window Trail
Difficulty: Moderate; Distance:, 5.6 miles round trip
Begin at the Chisos Basin Trailhead
This trail descends through Oak Creek Canyon to the Window pour-off which frames panoramic desert vistas. During wetter periods Oak Creek may be flowing, and must be crossed several times. Use caution on this trail: the top of the Window pour-off is slickrock with no railings, and the return hike is uphill.
