08 Upper Burro Mesa Trail

I've never made it to the chute but it looks interesting. Maybe I'll tackle it next time.

Get to know this 3.5-mile out-and-back trail near Terlingua, Texas. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a popular trail for hiking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.

Starting at the Upper Burro Mesa Pour-off Trail Parking Area, begin the descent on relatively mellow terrain, following a creek bed as it meanders into the towering walls of a Burro Mesa drainage. In this area, it's very likely for the wash to become inundated with large boulders, as flash floods bring them down from higher ground during times of heavy rain.

    Upper Burro Mesa Pour Off Trail, Big Bend: This is a chappedral Yucca with a very strange cork screw growth pattern Almost all the others had straight stalks. But there were a few like this. I wouldn't be surprised to find an insect involved.
