    Tips

    August 26, 2023

    Emory Peak is the highest point in Big Bend National Park at 7,796 feet. The summit provides panoramic views of the rocky peaks in Chisos Basin. The last quarter mile of the climb to this mountain top is steep and rocky. The last 25 feet to the summit requires scrambling along a rock face. There is very little shade along most of this trail and Texas's summer temps can be brutal. Make sure to pack appropriately.
