Look real close you will see Pam.
One of the more popular hikes in Big Bend is The Window Walk. While standing in the lodge parking lot one can look down the Basin between two mountains and peer west out over the desert toward the Burro Mesa and beyond.
The hike descends from the lodge towards the campground and then drops more into the basin which then follows a wash all the way to the Window pour-off. It was a beautiful hike with lots of trees and birds, canyon walls lined with cacti and mesquite, and a small stream winding its way around the boulders down to the pour-off. We were afraid to get too close to the edge of the pour-off as the pour-off is a very smooth, slick rock where the water from rain storms falls over the edge into the valley below. It was an easy hike down but coming back up was rather strenuous especially at the top but we did the almost 6 miles in about 3 hours.
