We camped in the Chisos Basin and hiked in the surrounding mountains. It's much cooler than the surrounding desert due to the higher elevation. The Chisos range is a "sky island" with many plants and animals that have evolved in isolation. Biologists worry that as the climate changes many species will have nowhere to live if these areas start to heat up. We'll see...
By the way, we saw several roadrunners but no coyotes chasing them.
