Day hike from the Chisos basin up the Pinnacles and Boot Springs trails to the South Rim of the Chisos. Then back on the Laguna Meadows Trail, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcI1ogpt6Qw , Quite an extraordinary place! |

Looks like a nice hike! Is there river running at this time of year, or is that later in the winter or spring? |

The river is canoeable when low and raftable when high. falll is a good time to do the river. The Chisos are just magical. Very different than the AZ and Utah desert I'm used to. I was amazed at how few people were in the park. |

I checked out all the river running outfits, looking for a guide I know works in Colorado in summer, and Arizona's Salt River in spring, and I did find him. There seem to be only 3 outfitters doing that. However, you can also get a private permit. It would be fun to go there for a couple weeks, do a backpack, a river trip and some cycling. |
