This is a hiker's park, with few amenities. There are some short nature trails but the vast majority of the trails are quite rugged. Camping sites at Pine Springs can be difficult to find during the cooler months. Nearest gas and supplies are 40 miles north. There is a decent cell signal at Pine Springs, the signal is also good on the mountain peaks. Is the Guadalupe Peak hike worth it? Definitely. Is it difficult? For most people, yep. Bring plenty of water.

Amazingly beautiful mountains! We walked two trails in the park and were so glad that we decided to visit here. From the walking trails, you always have great views of the mountains. I visited in July and it gets pretty hot, so bring water! There are plenty of trails rated easy for those not wanting to hike up the mountains, but I bet the views from up there are great too.

I had a hard time accepting that such an awesome place exists in Texas. It was so green. The day we went there was gloomy so seemed perfect for exploring this national park. Entry cost is 10$ per person. Seemed like hiking is a must to explore this place, as we couldn’t go far on our cars. Hopefully We will go there again later, when summer ends, for hiking.

The peak trail is amazing. My family with 3 boys aged 12,12 and 15 who had no problem hiking up. Took us 3.5 hours hiked up. 3 hours going down The trail of the last 100ft up was difficult to find. We brought up 1/2 gallon water for the kids to wear on their backs. We ate a good lunch before attempted the last mile to the summit. Worth every step of the way and was impressed by the amazing view going up. Be sure to bring rain gear. There were three rain storms went though during our hike. It was very challenging during the hike but rewarding at the end!

A hidden gem close to Carlsbad Caverns. This National Park is not busy and has many hiking trails...most are day-long hikes and are moderate to strenuous. There are a couple of shorter and easier hikes. They also have a Jr. Ranger Program where kids and adults can complete a booklet to earn a badge for this park. Nice little picnic area to the left of the Visitor's Center and a short 0.67-mile hike next to the Visitor's Center. If you want to experience all that this park has to offer, you will need at minimum 2-3 days. Don't forget to stamp your National Park passport book.

Get park, that isn't crowded and full of trails that range from very easy to very hard. I brought my family there last weekend and we had a blast and it was like fining a gem or flower in the desert. We will be coming here often and if you live around the area and like the outdoors this is the place for you.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park is home to Guadalupe Peak, the highest in Texas. The park is gorgeous, with plenty of hiking options for all experience levels. The campgrounds are meticulously maintained and the views are stunning. If you're looking for something simple to get started, hike over to Devils Hall. If you're looking for the big win, do your research, plan ahead, and hike up to Guadalupe Peak.

Super nice. The workers at the visitor center were really nice. Nice exhibit. However, you may have to wait to go inside the visitor center because they are only letting 6 people in at a time.
