I was there this summer & I strongly suggest you don't go then.  With the
exception of the first day it was 100+ with no cloud cover or rain.
Because of the intense heat I took many short day hikes.  The drive into
the park from Marathon is breathtaking.  I must have stopped a dozen times
just to take photos and enjoy the scenery.  They have many self-guiding
trails throughout the park.  Heck you can hike in the Chisos Mountains in
the morning, by the Rio Grande River in the afternoon & then the Chihuahuan
Desert in the evening.  At the visitor center they sell maps & guides.
Have a great time & take plenty of film.
