| We had perfect weather for the hike up Guadalupe Peak. It was breezy but not too windy. I had planned a trip to the Guadalupe Mountains and Big Bend for a while. Finally had the opportunity to go and thought this was a great hike. | |

| In the spring of 2008 I hiked up Guadalupe Peak every weekend with 40 - 50 lbs, training for Mt Rainier... it worked! I had a great time on that mountain. | |

| Redwic | My 40th State Highpoint! Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2009 | |
| There is an old saying that "everything is big in Texas", so I guess it is appropriate this was the site of my 40th State Highpoint reached. Gorgeous scenery and great weather (minus the wind!) at the summit. I was the first one on the summit that day, but passed MANY people on the way down. Perhaps the trail should be renamed the "Guadalupe Peak Superhighway". | |

| TheRootster | Lowest high point . . . | |
| ...that I'll ever do. But a fun one nevertheless. I hiked up solo when I was in the area working on the Lonely Planet Texas guide. Texas is an odd place...much of it doesn't appeal to me at all, but a few select places are some of my favorites on earth. This is one. | |

| Nice hike with great views and weather. Met a former major league baseball player on the trail and some other fun people. Went to Carlsbad Caverns in the evening and watched the bats leave the cave. Toured the caverns the next day and then drove on to Wheeler Peak. HP #38 | |

| VermontMike | Amazing View Date Climbed: Nov 11, 2008 | |
| A beautiful hike to the top of Texas! Looking down on the west Texas plains on the top is unforgettable, especially with El Capitan jutting out on the southeast. Big Bend is my favorite spot in TX but I need to get back and explore a little more in the Guadalupes! | |

| JDrake | Fun, easy hike with great views! Date Climbed: Mar 6, 2009 | |
| Drove out from Lubbock. Fun stuff, not particularly steep or challenging, but great views and the wind was low for me. Always good to get a highpoint. The real beast was bushwacking to El Cap... | |

| Highpoint #3 was actually a little harder than I thought it would be, but still a great climb and bragging rights for any Texan. | |
