Located in Big Bend National Park and surrounded by the spectacular Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem, the Upper Guale Mesa Hike is a scenic day hike that offers incredible 360-degree views of the striking terrain. Boasting over 300,000 acres of rugged high desert terrain, the park is one of the top five darkest regions in the country, making for excellent night hiking. There is also a 19-mile loop hike for hikers wanting a more extended adventure, which ends near the High Sierra Bar & Grill for excellent post-hike recovery.
