Described as an "obscure national park" Guadalupe Mountains National Park is on the western edge of Texas and just south of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We were able to visit both Carlsbad and Guadalupe parks based out of Carlsbad, NM.
The Guadalupe Mountains contain Texas' highest peaks and one of the most preserved fossil reefs. Surprisingly, there is a salt basin dune area as well. We didn't make it to that section of the park though.
We took a couple of short hikes near the visitors' center. Some of the longer hikes looked more interesting. However, we got there late enough in the day that we decided against them. The fact that they were described as moderate to strenuous had nothing to do with it, nothing whatsoever. Ha!
