Reviews of Guadalupe Mountains National Park
"What a views, plenty of hiking options from easy to extreme. Usually there is a bathroom and a picnic area at the start of every trial. No dogs allowed."
"Clean restroom at the pine spring visitor center. It also have the stamps for your stamp book. This is where you can get all the stamps for the trails. They have a gift shop behind the Park ranger station. Also a small museum for you to check out and rest. They have a small trail near the visitor center. Pay for your park visit here. If you have a national pass they will scan it here. Have fun and enjoy the nature. Bring lots of water. Everyone is friendly."
"We camped in Dog Canyon in late January mid week. Had that camp ground all to ourselves! Tucked away on the north edge of the park right over the state line back in to Texas. It took 2 hours to drive in but the roads were good. Well worth the drive!!! Isolated, quiet. Great hiking ! Bath house heated! About 6 walk in tent sites, 4 small RV spots. Mountains 1000 feet above us all around!"
"Great national park with many scenic hikes. I climbed to the top of Guadalupe peak and was really impressed with the views. The hike is about 8.5 miles round trip from the parking lot. If you go in January it can get a bit cold so make sure to bring a jacket and a hat."
"The reason I visited this NP for the first time was to hike the Guadalupe Peak Trail and reach up to the Top of Texas. I was glad I made it! The entire hiking took about 7 hours. It was strenuous but still manageable. Views on the top and throughout the trail are spectacular! Really worth the effort."
