Window Trail Walking Tour

Depending on which trailhead you start from, the Window Trail descends either 600 feet or 1,000 feet in elevation to the lowest point in the Chisos Basin. The roundtrip distance is either 4 miles or 5.5 miles. Few other trails in Big Bend National Park showcase as much diversity of habitat and scenery in such a short distance.
