After a good night of rest, we set out on the Window Trail at the park, not realizing how long of a trek it would be. Fortunately for us, we had done some research prior to our trip and brought good, wide-brimmed hats and lots of water. So, we set off on the Window Trail, a 5.6 mile hike. You can see our destination, the Window, in the background.The Window trail is great but the last mile is rough. After such a long, tiring trek, the last mile is uphill and really takes it out of you. We did make it but all of us were very tired at the end of the trip.
The view through the Window into the Chihuahan desert was spectacular but a little scary when you realized how wasy it would be to fall over the side of the mountain.
After the long hike, we retreated to our cabin and attempted to interact with the deer that frequented the cottage area. About as close as we could get was five feet but the boys loved being this close to an animal.
Much to our enjoyment, the second day ended with another beautiful sunset over the Chihuahan desert that was viewable through the Window in the Chisos Mountain Basin.
End of day 2.
