Guadalupe Peak (Texas Highpoint)

What a weekend! Last Thursday I headed to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park and spent 4 days/3 nights backpacking. We saw mountain goats, mule deer, a warthog, jackrabbits, lizards, and I summited the two highest peaks in Texas (Guadalupe Peak and Bush Mountain) while also camping at the highest campground in Texas.


I should mention that the day we climbed Guadalupe Peak was also my anniversary. I called Anne from the summit to wish her a Happy Anniversary! She is a saint for letting me go and I will have to make it up to her next year....
