I am a first time camper/hiker. A couple of friends invited me to Big Bend National Park for a week in January to pitch a tent and explore trails. I am slightly familiar with most essentials for any outdoors trip, but I'd like some tips and supply recommendations, especially considering I'll be there in the winter. I'll take note of any trail recommendations and points of interest to look for if you inform me. The idea of backpacking and exploring has always intrigued me, but I've never had a convenient way to get started. I don't want my first experience to be hindered by my own lack of preparation or information. I can answer questions to clarify anything if necessary.
