Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Hiking Guadalupe Peak was on the bucket list. Probably the most strenuous hike we have attempted and we have hiked Angels Landing in Zion National Park which was a tough hike, but very scary.
Mrs tour guide getting her stamp in her passport book.
Now it’s time to hike the Peak.
This is a drawing by the tour guide. His pack twisted to the right, which was too heavy. When it twisted it pulled him down. He was a lot closer than the drawing shows. He wanted mrs tour guide to take a picture, but she was intent on pulling him from the edge. Probably a good idea since the only thing stopping him from rolling down about a 1000 feet or so to the bottom was the bush (which was placed there by God to stopped his descent to the bottom). We hiked a little higher till the tour guides decided it was way to strenuous and scary to continue to the top. We made it 3/4 up. So it is crossed off the bucket list.
PS:
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is an American national park in the Guadalupe Mountains, east of el Paso, Texas.
The mountain range includes Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas at 8,749 feet, and was used as a landmark by travelers on the route later followed by the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach line. The park covers 86,367 acres in the same mountain range as Carlsbad Caverns National Park, about 25 miles to the north in New Mexico.
