Guadalupe Peak is the highest natural point in Texas, with an
elevation of 8,751 feet. It is located in Guadalupe Mountains National
Park, and is part of the Guadalupe Mountains range in
southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. The mountain is about 90 miles
east of El Paso and about 50 miles southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. It
rises more than 3,000 feet above the arid floor of the Chihuahuan
Desert. |
|
|
| The peak may be climbed on a maintained stony trail
(4.2 miles one-way) during any time of the year, although snow may
linger in winter and storms and strong winds may make the journey
hazardous. A stainless steel pyramid marks the summit. It was erected by
American Airlines in 1958 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
Butterfield Overland Mail, a stagecoach route that passed south of the
mountain. One side of the pyramid has the American Airlines logo. The
second side displays a US Postal Service tribute to the Pony Express
Riders of the Butterfield Stage. The third side displays a compass with
the logo of the Boy Scouts of America. A summit register contained in a
metal ammunition box is located at the base of the pyramid. |
