Guadalupe Peak
Guadalupe Peak is the highest mountain in Texas at 2,667 meters. It is located in Guadalupe Mountains National Park and offers incredible views from the summit. The mountains contains limestone fossil reef that rises from the desert.
In 1958, American Airlines erected a stainless steel pyramid to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Butterfield Stage, whose route passed by the base of the summit.
The peak may be climbed any time of the year on a well maintained trail. It is acknowledged as an excellent winter climb due to its warm weather, although snow may persist in winter and storms and wind may make the journey difficult.
How to Get There
The trailhead starts at Pine Springs Campground, at the end of the road, 0.5 mile beyond Headquarters visitor center. Approach from the west or north-east on 62/180.

The peak may be climbed on a well maintained trail fairly easy, but if one chose to climb the peak without the trail it would be much more difficult.
