Emory Peak: how long is the hike?

[Dennis1993]

The Chisos Lodge has a decent restaurant, highly recommend the Chisos cheeseburger.  Gift shop is directly adjacent to the restaurant.  The dining area has an awesome view of the sunsets.

Whatever you do don't order the "spicy Chicken wings" they are BRUTAL, my tung was burnt for a day or so.

The tamales with Chipotle sauce had quite a kick as well.  The beef soft tacos had a kick as well, but of a different kind.... and on a delayed basis, if you know what I mean.

The only 2 things that I have to say about the lodge restaurant are that the food is great and they keep a good supply of Barking Squirrels and Chisos Butt Ducks. If anyone came to this post inadverdantly looking for info on the hike to Emory Peak...It's a fabulous 5-6 hour hike with great views and challenging trails with a scramble up the summit to top things off...literally! Cheers!

Hmmm...I definitely need to eat at the lodge restaurant next time.
I'll wait till after I summit Emory though. I'll need to replenish the lost calories.
Emory Peak can be done in much less than 5-6 hours in my experience.
I do agree with russco that the views are great!
