About the Mule Ears hike

The Mule Ears route in Big Bend National Park measures 5.8 miles and gains 566 feet, with a low point of 2,820 feet and a high point of 3,204 feet. The steepest pitch reaches 13 percent, against an average of 98 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the moderate band.

The elevation profile shown here is drawn from 185 points sampled along the real Mule Ears track, and the poster's contour lines come from the same terrain data. The high point sits at the turnaround, about 2.9 miles in. Every style on this page uses that data; only the palette and layout change.

The area

Big Bend National Park is a national park of the United States located in West Texas, bordering Mexico. The park has national significance as the largest protected area of Chihuahuan Desert topography and ecology in the United States, and was named after a large bend in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo.
