High country splendor in west Texas, the Guadalupe Mountains (8749ft;) may be
one of the state's best-kept secrets just because they are so darn far from anywhere. Make
the journey and your reward is stunning hikes and excellent fall color, especially in McKit-
trick Canyon. The mountains sit among an exposed fossil reef, so amateur geologists
should take note. Others can just enjoy the historic ranch and 80 miles of trails and scenic
drives located throughout the park.
