Guadalupe Mountains National Park on 86,367 acres, is located 110 miles east of El Paso, TX in the middle of nowhere and nothing in Salt Flat, TX on the original
Butterfield Overland Mail Coach line.
Pine Springs Campground, where I stayed for two nights, is at an elevation of 5,822' and at the base of some of the most popular hiking trails; one which leads to Guadalupe Peak at 8,749', the highest elevation in the state of Texas.
