And then Guadalupe National Park in Texas. Of all the National Parks we've seen (many during our NP tour) I guess this would be my least favorite. Very small public area, small tent camping area, and the travel trailer camping was just an asphalt parking lot, camp spots lined out with painted stripes, so close & short there wasn't even any room to park a tow vehicle in many of them.
Several hiking/walking trails into the mountains, that uncle arther prevents me from doing. So just a few shots from the VC parking area.
Just north of the GMNP entrance is the Frijole Ranch History Museum and horseback trailhead. But the museum had just closed when we got there.
We also checked out Rattlesnake Springs, and the Cottonwood Day Use Area. Pretty places.
A large rock quarry we passed on a back road to the springs.
Saw lots of turkey, in the fields and in the trees, while on the way to the springs.
And finally, Rattlesnake Springs. It's reportedly still in use today, supplying water for the Caverns.
The Pumphouse
Our last full day we spent going west into the mountains, and the Lincoln National Forest. First National Forest I've seen with only a few trees, but the drive there, to Sitting Bull Springs was great.
Large craggy peaks
Looking at the road below
and the Sitting Bull Falls. There were folks enjoying a swim. Too cold for me.
Our time here is coming to an end, gonna pack up and move on up north a little.
