South Rim is a section of trail that offers wide-reaching views of the Chisos Basin and of the Chihuahuan Desert. It is thought of as some of the best scenery in Big Bend National Park. Sections of the trail are closed during peregrine falcon nesting season. Updates on this can be found on Big Bend's park website.
South Rim Trail is a challenging climb with over 2,000 feet in elevation gain from its beginning at an intersection with Laguna Meadow Trail and Colima Trail. This trail is only accessed through Laguna Meadow or Boot Canyon (via Pinnacles) trails from the north or the East Rim Trail to the east.
