The Guadalupes



The Guadalupe Mountains of far west Texas are both the highest point in the state as well as a national park. They are spectacular for many reasons, not the least of which is the great variety of incredible views.

Here is one of my favorite. These pure white gypsum sand dunes sit in a deep valley west of the peaks. The mountains rise over 5000' above them in most dramatic. This is one of the most remote and quietest places in the state.

It is both a park and a place in the park I always look forward to going back to.
