Guadalupe Mountains National Park could easily be described as one of Texas’ best-kept secrets. Folks traveling in the area often overlook the park as they drive by. Located in West Texas on U.S. Highway 62/180 about 110 miles east of El Paso, Texas and 60 miles southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico, the park is a hidden gem just waiting to be explored. The view on a warm spring evening is something to remember.
