Emory Peak Trail - Highest point of Big Bend

On our first full day at Big Bend, we decided to do the toughest hike we've ever done since we've been to the Big Bend - this was our third year. The trail is strenuously difficult, which we found out the hard way: 9 miles round trip of upward hiking - the boys did great considering the hike and hot weather. Our legs (and butts) were like mush that evening!
