The Pinnacles

Hiking back from the south rim of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park we followed first the Boot Canyon trail and then the Pinnacles trail. This was the view to the north from the Pinnacles trail. We had hiked all day and were tired but still had about four miles to go. We were close to the beginning of the Emory Peak trail which went off to our left and went to the top of the peak. We did not follow that trail but began to meet emergency personnel who were on their way to the peak to rescue someone who had fallen and was injured.
