Guadalupe Mountains: An Underrated Gem
Straddling the border of Texas and New Mexico is a diverse ecosystem known as the Guadalupe Mountains. This mountain range is unique as it’s the largest exposed fossil reef in America. Step into the park and feel like you’ve gone back in time – discover fossils in the rock, find hidden desert springs, and summit Texas’ highest peak. It’s truly an underrated stop if you’re exploring the West.  If you are a fan of towering jagged mountains, crisp desert air, blooming cacti, and wide open plains, then Guadalupe is for you! Here are my tips for visiting this mountainous escape: when to visit, where to camp, and what to do.
