Steep Ridge – Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas

Posted on by

There’s something very powerful, almost spiritual, about standing at the base of the tallest peak in Texas. I took this shot from the base of Guadalupe Peak at the entrance to Bone Canyon. Standing at 5200 ft, you’d never guess the peak was more than 3000 feet higher.

Man, what a view!

  1. Very much appreciate these pictures. The truly remote parts of Texas with their beauty need more exposure for all of us.
