After traversing the top of Wilderness Ridge, which grants you fantastic views of McKittrick Canyon from various viewpoints along its edge, you will reach a metal barbed-wire fence and "revolving gate" marking the Texas – New Mexico border. This a good turn-around point on the Permian Reef Trail and a rather fun way to end this beautiful hike; you can say to friends that you've hiked from Texas to New Mexico!
