East Rim 1

About this site

ER-1: Small level site, with only moderate shade. The East Rim campsites are located between 6 and 7 miles (10-11 km) from the Chisos Basin Trailhead via the Pinnacles Trail (8.5 miles/13.6 km via the Laguna Meadow Trail). These campsites are not located on the very edge of the rim, but 150-300 ft (45-90 m) into the trees on the opposite side of the trail. A short walk of 200-300 ft (60-90 m) from any site will provide spectacular panoramic vistas. Water Sources: None. There is NO water anywhere near the Southwest Rim of the Chisos. Hikers on 1-2 day trips should plan on carrying all their necessary water. Plan on at least one gallon/24 hours/person. This is a hike-in site. Additional Info: To protect the peregrine falcon, from February 1 until May 31 each year, a portion of the East Rim Trail is closed between ER-3 campsite and the southern junction of the Boot Canyon Trail.
