Not sure if this is the correct spot to post this, i couldn’t really find a trip planning section.
I’m planning to head to big bend in late February, more than likely going solo with my 7 year old. It’s his birthday trip and planning to stay 5-7 nights depending on feedback. Timing is late February.
I’m starting my research, and it looks like backcountry camping is first come first serve only reservable at the park office.
Is 5 nights enough to explore what needs to be seen at big bend?
Any hidden gems that aren’t known on the average google search?
Planning on running black gap trail, it doesn’t look to technical other than the one rock ledge area.
Planning to have my aux fuel tank installed by then, which will allow me to have 40+ gallons of fuel on board.
Hot spring along the rio is a planned stop, hoping it’s not packed with people.
Hoping to learn some camera settings to be able to capture some of the dark sky and land scape.
Oh and obviously I’ll be taking the 100 unless something drastic happens.
Pic for the thread.
