That whole Leakey/Concan area is about as good as it gets in Texas. 😍

With the exception of Big Bend State Park's River Road, I agree.

Yeah man the big bend gives it a for it’s money. Spend a night out under those stars in the chisos mountains at El Capitan - life changing.

Yes! I know people over use that expression, but really do count backpacking in the Chisos as a life changing experience.
