We hit pavement and turned south to Boquillas Canyon Overlook. This section of asphalt is so beautiful and being able to check out the canyon from above the Rio Grande introduces the newcomers to the river and gives them a close view of Mexico.

We linked up with Matt at Ernst Tinaja for lunch. After we had a sandwich, he took off back to work and we hiked up into the Tinaja.

We arrived at the park just a few minutes before 9 am when the park entrance office opens. Backcountry permits are only available 24 hours ahead of time so you can't call ahead to book spots. We had a list of options that would work for our group of four that put us where we wanted to be to...

The only trail that is not listed is Black Gap. It mentioned but not described.
@NitroExpress. I really want to do BB State Park
Tell me, is the scenery good? I used to want my trails the harder the better but what I see the trails at Big Bend for is that they take me to remote places to see fantastic scenery.
I hear the trails are harder and there are even fewer...
