Backpackers who've been beaten up by Guadalupe's wind on other trips will notice the difference immediately. The bowl topography diverts weather, summer highs stay in the 60s-80s, and the pine spacing draws consistent praise from hammock campers.
No water for human consumption despite a large historic tank on-site, so anyone not prepared to carry all their own water for a 5.5-plus mile haul in will be in trouble fast.

Come experience mountains and canyons, desert and dunes, night skies and spectacular vistas within a place unlike any other. Guadalupe Mountains National Park protects the world's most extensive Permian fossil reef, the four highest peaks in Texas, an environmentally diverse collection of flora and fauna, and the stories of lives shaped through conflict, cooperation and survival.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is located on the north side of US Hwy 62/180. If you are traveling east from El Paso, TX, we are 110 miles East of the city. Follow US Hwy 62/180 North to the Pine Springs Visitor Center. If you are traveling from Van Horn, TX, you will travel north on US 54 and make a right-hand turn at the junction of US 62/180 to arrive at the park. If you are traveling west from Carlsbad, NM, you will travel on US Hwy 62/180 South and cross into Texas. Follow signs to the park.

This is peak hiking and basecamp season — trails are clear, water sources are active, and the forest provides excellent shade for tent camping.
