“BACKPACKING CAMPSITE The Boot Canyon campsites are located in Boot Canyon, 4.5 miles from the Chisos Basin Trailhead via the Pinnacles Trail. All campsites are located along a 1/2 mile long spur trail. Do not plan on finding these campsites in the dark. The Pinnacles Trail, Boot Canyon Trail, and campsite access trail are all well maintained and generally in excellent condition year round. All the trails are well marked. Please don’t cut switchbacks along the Pinnacles Trail. There is abundant shade in the entire Boot Canyon area. The Boot Canyon campsites are located within a heavily wooded canyon. There is great shade and wind protection, but no distant views from any site. This is a large site with many trees. The site is close to the composting toilet and spur trail. Each spring/summer, Colima Warblers nest in Boot Canyon. These birds are found nowhere else in the entire U.S. This is a hike-in site. Parking is available at the Chisos Basin trailhead or the Chisos Basin Amphitheater.”
