The waymark coordinates are for the trailhead of the Window Yrail, a short loop trail that will take you to a wonderful view of The Window.
From Texas: A Guide to the Lone Star State:
"A sign at 5.5 m. warns of a steep, winding road. The view ahead is through a gap termed The Window, looking almost due west and down upon the lesser peaks and ridges of the Terlingua area. Dim and blue on the distant horizon rise the San Carlos Mountains and other ranges of Mexico. In this vicinity are great columns of volcanic tufa."
The writers in 1940 were right -- the view through The Window at Sunrise is amazing.
