The area I'm covering is VAST. Think of a space holding the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and three Delawares, and you've got some idea of the mileage I'll be piling up with my Forester.
For the record, the Texas Mountain Trail serves all of Brewster, Culberson, El Paso, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio counties. That's 21,772 square miles, including the city of El Paso, the Big Bend National Park, and the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Look at the map. We're that pointy corner of west Texas nestled under New Mexico, and bordered by the Rio Grande to the south. Mexico is below that. Exotic land for this midwesterner, and it couldn't be any more different from the other regions in Texas where I've lived--the Panhandle and Galveston.
