Our first hike in the Chisos Mountains during our 2018 stay at Big Bend happened during the two days we were camping at the Basin Campground. We knew we wanted to hike while up there but weren't sure which one we had time for.
We did the Windows Trail and (secret) Falls trail in 2014 but never got to the Lost Mine trail. Lost mine is known for having incredible views of the Chisos most of the way up and that was absolutely true! The hike took about 3 hours and we ascended about 1800 feet to about 6800 feet in elevation.
We camped at the Chisos basin campground for two days so we'd be near the hike, and hiked the Lost Mine trail early in the morning to avoid the heat of mid-day.
Here's a photo of the great view from the top. Bliss Moment!
