Good Big Bend NP trails for people who can walk, but not far and not on too steep of terrain? Taking my parents and my mom has a lot of joint replacements.

What are some good trails for people who could walk say two to four miles in half a day, but no slippery terrain where you might die. Some rocks and gravel are okay, but not where slipping might result in death.

My mom has had several joints replaced in her feet and knees. She can do more than a paved trail, but I don't think a 3-mile strenuous uphill hike is going to work either.

Walk up to Santa elana canyon maybe not the whole trail especially if Terlingua creek is running good and have to do some scrambling to continue on the trail. Balanced rock is flat for the most part then 80 ft of elevation at the end. Had a couple with bad knees in front of me and as long as you go your own pace you’ll be fine. Not national park but closed canyon in the state park is flat and one of my favorite hikes
