Set within the vast Chihuahuan Desert of western Texas, the Guadalupe Mountains National Park is renowned for its bright-white gypsum salt basin dunes, which can be explored on the Guadalupe Peak Trail. The trail winds its way up through a conifer forest to the state’s highest summit, which boasts spectacular panoramic views of the rocky El Capitan peak and the surrounding landscapes. You can find more information about the trail at the Pine Springs Visitor Center, where there are expert rangers who will share their knowledge of the region. There is a parking space with shaded picnic tables at the start of the trail where hikers can relax once finished.
