Light and evening shadow

While making it to the top of Guadalupe Peak--the highest point in Texas, at 8,749 feet--is an incredibly exciting climb, the majesty doesn't end there. During the hike down to the trailhead, keep your eyes open for a beautiful play of light and shadow on the mountains.

Guadalupe Peak is the premier hike of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
