Activity itinerary

El Capitan Viewpoint
  • 5m
This picnic area right off Route 62 provides a stellar view of El Capitan, a prominent peak in the Guadalupe Mountains standing just over 8,000 feet tall.
Pine Springs Visitor Center
  • 30m
This small visitor centre includes exhibits on the park's geological and natural features. There's also a small gift shop. This is where you'll need to pay your park fee.
Pine Springs Trailhead
  • 2h
One of the primary trailheads in the park, Pine Springs is the starting point for several trails. The two most popular are the trails to Guadalupe Peak, and Devil's Hall. Guadalupe Peak is the highest mountain in Texas. The hike to the summit is 8.4 miles return, with 3,000 feet of elevation change, and is considered difficult. Devil's Hall is about 4 miles return and is moderate to difficult. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks for either trail.
Pinery Butterfield Stage Station Ruins
  • 15m
What remains of an overland post route station called the Pinery sits at the foot of the Guadalupe Mountains. Post used to cross the country by carriage, stopping at stations like this for a new driver and a fresh team of horses.
Frijoles Canyon
  • 1h
Explore a historic homestead at the Frijole Ranch. The farmhouse has been converted into a small museum displaying artefacts from the area's human history. You can also walk beyond the ranch to reach the Smith Spring Loop Trail, which heads a small ways into the mountain forest to a spring. The whole trail is 2.3 miles return and is considered moderate. You can also just stop at the Manzanita Spring, which is only 0.5 miles return.
McKittrick Canyon
  • 2h
McKittrick Canyon is an easier alternative to hike into the mountains than the hikes at the Pine Springs trailhead. There are a few hiking choices here, but the most recommended is the hike to Pratt Cabin. The hike is 4.8 miles return and is considered moderately difficult, mainly for the length. This area is known for colourful trees during the autumn. Next to the trailhead is a small visitor centre that's intermittenly staffed.
