Beautiful views and would be great remote camping (permit required) in the late fall and really spring. Historical features currently under restoration.
Rice Tank was very nice and secluded. Great view of mountains as the sun came up. Had a passer by, Mexican black bear, visit on his/her way back to higher altitudes. No issues with the bear, truly gust passing by. I had the great pleasure of seeing it.
Nice remote private camping spot far off the main road. You can see vehicles go by the main gravel road, but not many people come out here. By reservation only. There is a water 'tank' (pond) here from the old cattle grazing days. I was tempted to hike into the tank, but probably best that I did not. Great views of the Chisos mountains to the west, you can take a long desert walk from here too. I did not see any bears, snakes, or havalinas, but they are around for sure. Lot's of birds.
