Quick Facts

Location:

Big Bend National Park

To continue to the Window, follow the trail that heads to the left. The Oak Spring Trail diverges to the right, climbs steeply uphill, then briefly levels out before descending 1,100 feet through a series of steep switchbacks to the desert below. A short uphill hike of about 0.25 miles up the Oak Spring Trail will lead you to a vantage point which provides a dramatic view of the desert and the mountains in the distance.
