“BACKPACKING CAMPSITE The Boulder Meadows Campsites are located 1 1/2 mile (2.4 km) from the Basin Trailhead via the Pinnacles Trail. Campsites 1-4 are located along a spur trail which is 1/4 mile (400m) long. The first 1/2 mile (.8 km) is fairly steep, after which the trail becomes moderately difficult. The Pinnacles trail is well maintained and easy to follow all year. The pinnacles trail is the steeper, yet shorter route to the High Chisos backcountry and the South Rim area. Site is small, with very little shade. A nice spur trail leads to a nice place to sit and watch the sunset. This is a hike-in site. Parking is available at the Chisos Basin trailhead or the Chisos Basin Amphitheater.”
