Guadalupe Mountains

The Guadalupe Mountains are a small but rugged mountain range located in southeastern New Mexico, near the Texas border. Formed by an ancient reef system, the range features steep, rocky terrain with deep canyons and high, arid peaks. The iconic Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas at 8,749 feet, dominates the landscape. The mountains are characterized by diverse desert plant life, including yucca, juniper, and ponderosa pine, as well as abundant wildlife such as mule deer, black bears, and golden eagles.
