The long and winding road to the Chisos.
The Chisos Mountains cover 40 square miles (104 square km) along the Rio Grande River in southwestern Texas
The Chisos form the state’s third highest mountain group, culminating at Emory Peak (7,825 feet [2,385 metres]).
Chisos may be a Native American word meaning “ghost” or “spirit,” or it may derive from the Castilian hechizos (“enchantment”).
The mountains were a favored stronghold of Mescalero, Apache, and Comanche raiding parties.
