Guadalupe Mountains National Park

In Northwest Texas, not far from both the Mexican and New Mexican borders, lies Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The park was once underwater and is an example of a Permian reef. Natural springs support a riparian woodland in McKittrick Canyon, and we were there just in time for peak fall color. There are not a lot of roads in this park, so to really see it, you must take off on foot or saddle up. I would love to return to explore more of this beautiful park. We saw a heard of javelina along the road on the way to the trailhead. One day I will own a second camera and a decent telephoto lens, so I can better capture wildlife. For now, I make do with what I have.
