The Top of Texas

I went up for Labour Day weekend last year. My friend and I were able to share the group site with two other groups. We all got along well with no issues.

You are unable to reserve sites there.

I did two hikes, the first was the Devil's Hall Trail, which is along a wash and into a canyon. 4.2 miles round trip and moderate.

The next morning we did the Guadalupe Peak trail. We started around 7:30am, got to the summit around 12:30pm and then got back down around 4pm. We were chased down by some thunderstorms that were common that time of the year.

Next time I do it, I would start the hike before the sunrise.

Be sure to bring plenty of water on any of the hikes and good shoes.

The campground over all is nice. Water and composting toilets are close by and flush toilets are a close walk.

There is an amphitheater near the camp where the rangers told stories about the area, which was pretty neat.
