My husband sent me an email about this spa ahead of our Big Bend trip. I had been badly injured…read morewhen a motorist hit me while I was on my bike and he knew a day of relaxing while he went mountain biking was what I deserved. I corresponded with Regina and told her about my injuries, I was cleared for massage by my neurosurgeon but still not comfortable with much touch so she helped me build a package with a body wrap and facial. Yes, the prices are high but you're at a resort in the middle of no where and it states clearly on the menu the gratuity is included. I walked in and the spa is a very charming little space, even though it was high season it was very quiet inside. You change into a comfortable robe and slippers, everything is very peaceful and calming from the candle fragrances to the soft music. We started with a wonderful foot soak, I almost fell asleep the room was so relaxing. During the body wrap Regina was very mindful of my injuries, scar tissue and took great care showing she is a true professional. After she wrapped me and left me for awhile in the room I let the soft music and lovely scents lull me into a nap! She was also very considerate, reminding me that if I sat up fast I may be dizzy and she'd give me privacy but if I needed assistance due to the nature of my injuries to please let her know. During the facial we chatted and I found her delightful, she gave me advice on shops to check for an ornament for my collection and told me about the area. The only thing I wish was in previous facials it included a light planing of the facial hair which this one did not. All of the products left my skin feeling great for the rest of our visit, not an easy task in the desert when I have skin that is sensitive. The visit was truly a wonderful thought from my husband and I very much enjoyed the time at the spa, I am not a frequent spa visitor but I found it wonderful and will return next time I find myself in Lajitas.

We did a early morning ride with Evo (gotta consider heat and horses) and his knowledge of plant life, history, suggestions for a scenic drive to Marfa, etc. made our excursion completely delightful. Evo also took a few moments to snap LOTS of pics of us (worthy of a picture frame). Evo was polite and respectful of our time and made the trip a nice way to end our vacation. The icing on the cake was Miss Dottie, the cattle dog who was a great addition for our ride.

It's not too steep but there are a decent number of switch backs. The view was lovely; not as lovely as Emory peak in my opinion but I really enjoyed even the views along the way, especially at the saddle right as the sun was coming up - the colors of the sunrise were absolutely incredible. Overall if you're short on time and can't do south rim for eg, this is a lovely shorter alternative.

The hike to Emory peak is iconic and stunning. You get an amazing view of the window along the…read moretrail, and from the top you can see all the way out to the south rim - it's like you really can see forever. The hike is fairly moderate up until you get to the scramble at the very end, which really does require using your whole body - arms and legs. The climb up really isn't all that bad, but coming down was a little bit tricky, even if just because it's easy to forget the path down and there's only one or two feasible options for a normal sized human. That said - I would recommend making the climb to the very top. It's a narrow area, just a few boulders wide - I'd guess that 15 people or fewer can actually fit up there at one time, and that would be standing close to one another. Overall: if you're going to do one long hike in big bend, I would say this should be it. You can do the whole thing round trip within 4ish hours if you walk fast, or take your time and spend longer. But seriously, you cannot beat the views.

Good hike. A bit strenuous, but worth it…read more But, if I had to choose between the South Rim, and Emory Peak, I would go for the South Rim. It's longer, not quite as strenuous, and more scenically diverse. Seeing the Rio Grand, from the South Rim, was amazing, but this is the Emory Peak page. If the South Rim had it's own Yelp page, I would go 5 stars! Once you get to the top, you are rewarded with a pretty good view, and cell phone coverage. At least we had it on two different networks. So get that selfies stick out, and watch your step. If you are aggressive, fast, and start early, you could probably do Emory and South Rim in the same day. Heading to the South Rim takes you to the path for Emory Peak, but it will add several hours. We did not start terribly early, so we just did a quick out and back, from the Chisos Basin Campground ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/chisos-basin-campground-big-bend-national-park ), which is where we were camping. Bottom line: If your pressed for time, I would skip it. Since we did South Rim, I would rather have seen more of the park, but hiking to the tallest spot in the park was pretty cool! PS. Review is a bit late. We were in early March, 2018.
