Guadalupe Peak Trail
The trail starts to climb right from the Pine Springs Campground. It gains 3,000 in about 4 miles. It's an 8.4 mile out and back trip. If your in reasonably good physical shape, you can make it. Be sure to pace yourself and stop frequently to admire the scenery. Look down and you might see a caterpillar, right. I wonder if he's maiming the rock design, top right, as camouflage. The varied rock formations along the trail are worth your attention while stopping to catch your breath.
