Now you can get better prepared for the big peaks, by joining the free Peak Fitness Challenge.  All the trails in the Challenge--in both Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Franklin Mountains State Park--are coded according to difficulty...so you can start at the easier trails and gain experience and confidence for the highest peaks in both parks.  That includes the highest point in Texas, Guadalupe Peak! 

Once you sign up and hike the trails, you're eligible for free prizes...simple as that! 

On the way to Guadalupe Peak!
