Great place to beat the Texas heat!
Dog Canyon is located on the north end of Guadalupe Mountains National Park aka the highest point in Texas. Though secluded, Dog Canyon fills up fast so arrive early or plan in advance to claim your spot.
Due to the elevation, this campground is cooler and has more shelter than the Pine Springs campground. Dog Canyon has excellent trail access with options of one-day or shorter day hikes.
Ranger recommendations:
- Have a full tank of gas
- Bring your propane stove - fires are not allowed in any of the campgrounds.
