Touched the Top o’ Texas

Posted on by Backcountry Fever

This makes 21/50 for me and brings my season of State Highpoints to an end for the year.  12 states in 5 months has been one heck of a ride!

Guadalupe is one of the easier ones, I think! …right up there with Humphreys, Mansfield and maybe even Marcy.  You climb a mere 2,800′ over 4 miles.  Took me only an hour and forty minutes.

There are a few other trails you can explore from this trailhead in you wanted to extend your adventure:

  • Tejas Trail (that can be done as a loop, up to Hunter Peak then down the Bear Canyon Trail)
  • El Capitan Trail (different than the one in Yosemite)
  • Devil’s Hall Trail (looked like a wash that turns into a slot canyon the further up you go)

Full trip report coming soon…

Despite the weekend`s winter weather advisory, it turned out to be a blue bird day for our rim to rim hike. We couldn`t have asked for better timing with a snowstorm the night before and again as soon as we reached the North rim. Always an epic hike!

The weather outside is frightful... well, unless you`re up for an adventurous hike across the Grand Canyon! Let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW!!!

It was definitely a weekend of wildlife. Here`s a family of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep hangin` out in Rock Canyon.

These two... playin` peek-a-boo. I see you!
Lucky for them, I`m a hiker and not a hunter.
