2017: Decided to stay one more day so we could visit the Chisos Basin area and hike up to Emory Peak. Ate breakfast and headed up to Chisos Basin. Nice ride and beautiful! Mucho cooler up there too! Enjoyed the hike to Emory at 7,825 ft, the tallest point in the park. The last bit was all rock scrambling with steep drops, made me a bit nervous! Matthew painted up there and someone left a bunch of Gatorades so we had one. Hike down was much easier-it's been a while since we did an all uphill hike, so we were both feeling it! Grabbed some postcards back at the visitors center and then headed back to the RV. Relaxed, showered, got dinner ready, ate, stargazed and bed.20
