  • A beautiful park. Some great, long trails - we did Mt Guadalupe which is an 8.4 mile hike with 3k ft of elevation gain. So worth it. Don't go in summer - we went in April and it was hot but the wind helped. Pack a ton of water no matter when you go, and bring layers - like a windbreaker for the top where you are exposed. Also sunscreen up. You get very little shade! This is worth a visit to be at the tallest part of Texas, and pairs great with a Carlsbad Caverns visit (30 min away) and a White Sands visit (3.5 hours). Beautiful, just prepare!
  • This is a fantastic park, and I had a great time hiking to the top of Guadalupe Peak and around some of the smaller trails from the visitor center. Guadalupe peak is a strenuous hike and take at least the recommended amount of water, as well as some food and all the equipment necessary to pack out your waste, as there are no toilets or trash cans on the trail. Overall a great experience and it definitely earns its status as a national park!
