Hike to Guadalupe Peak!

One of the signature hikes of the region is to the highest point in Texas, Guadalupe Peak in Guadalupe Mountains National Park.  The hike is 8.4 miles round-trip with an elevation gain of 3000’, and generally takes 6-8 hours.  On a clear day, the view from the "Top of Texas" (8,749 feet, or 2,667 meters) is outstanding. The trail is very steep, but is well established. Some areas are exposed to cliff edges. It is rated strenuous.  Have fun, but please avoid the peak hike during high winds and thunderstorms.
