Eric Praetzel Vacation Pictures - Guadalupe Peak Hike - Guadalupe Mountains NP

 The hike to the peak is fairly easy and you can be at the peak in less than 2 hours. Keep in mind that you can experience very strong wind gusts and winds and that you are hiking up the side of mountains. I experienced temperatures that varied from near freezing to quite hot from day to day.
It took me 5 hours to climb up Guadalupe Peak and hike the Devils Hall trails on the same day.
The view from the top is very nice; assuming that you are not in the midst of a dust storm and that the pollution is not being blown in. Visibiltiy was quite good when I was there; well good relative to Big Bend.
