Guadalupe Mountains National Park Travel Guide
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a study in extremes: it has mountaintop forests but also rocky canyons; arid deserts and yet a stream that winds through verdant woods. The park is home to the Texas madrone tree, found commonly only here and in Big Bend National Park. Guadalupe Mountains National Park also has the distinction of hosting the loftiest spot in Texas: 8,749-foot Guadalupe Peak. The mountain dominates the view from every approach, but it's just one member of a rugged range carved by wind, water, and time.
