South Rim Trails Map from the book Hiking Big Bend National Park by
Laurence Parent,
Second Edition, 2005, A Falcon Guide. The book describes the South Rim Trail as
"the
classic hike of Texas. Although the trip is fairly strenuous, almost any Texas
hiker worth
his or her salt will someday try to hike to the South Rim. Few other hikes in
Texas can
surpass the quality and sheer quantity of views along the trail. On clear days,
the views
cover most of the Texas Big Bend country and far into Mexico."
