I had looked into spending a few nights backpacking in Big Bend, but I've never backpacked solo and have no intentions of trying it soon. Any suggestions? Does anyone know of any groups that are planning anything during that time frame? Also I'm curious about what people recommend as the must-do activities in Texas and the surrounding area. I'm unsure how long I'll be in Texas, so I want to prioritize
