Love your video! It brought back many good memories of Big Bend and Black Gap Road. I have driven Black Gap many times in both directions and love the scenery and the views of the southern Chisos Mountains. I also think your comments about the difficulty are spot on. I think the most difficult road in the Park now is The Old Ore Road. I followed a motorcyclist on a BMW adventure bike and she laid it down about 5 times scrambling over the rocks and boulders. I was glad I was in the Jeep but it has become a rougher ride in the past few years and is teeth rattling now. It has gotten so rough now that it takes me about 1.5 more hours to drive it. I love the scenery and geology on it, however, and always stop to hike both tinajas. I also always stop at the roadside grave to pay my respects to both victims. Thanks again - I enjoyed the video! BTW @ 18:07 in your video is the side road to the Glen Springs Cemetary with about 20 graves.
Great overview of Black Gap Road. I'm heading there next week, and this video has been helpful for planning my trail route! Looks like you had a great time
