West Texas Farewell Tour Part Two: Revenge of the Chisos

West Texas Farewell Tour: Sawtooth Bushwhack

Night Run

Morning Run

It's been awhile since I did a West Texas bushwhack, and this scratched that itch.

Left my night shift in Artesia at 3am and arrived at the base of Sawtooth Mountain right as the sun was rising. Was cornered by javelinas on the narrow ridgeline up and took awhile for them to lose interest in me so I could sneak past them. 

Spectacular views of the surrounding Davis Mountains at the summit. Couldn't believe how many chollas were blooming and how green the summit and route up was. Shared the summit with an auodad and newborn.

Descended down a very steep chute before ascending back up to bag Peak 7039.
