Smith Spring - Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Smith Spring is a great day hike at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. It is fairly easy (compared to other hikes at GUMO). The spring is an amazing place. Especially when you consider the harsh environment it is surrounded by. Its a special place.
On this trip, I also went off trail to a small cave near Smith Spring. I believe the cave used to be used as a sheep pen back in the ranching days of the Guadalupe Mountains.
Thanks for watching guys. Keep your eyes out for a lot of videos I have coming from Guadalupe Mountains.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park 2012

Guadalupe Mountains National Park (Devil's Hall Trail)
The Devil’s Hall Trail is a relatively easy hike up Pine Spring Canyon to a narrow, scenic canyon. It is a particularly beautiful hike in the fall when the big-toothed maple trees in the canyon are turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Any time of year hikers can marvel at the large cliffs rising up to Guadalupe Peak and the geological processes that created Devil’s Hall and the Hiker’s Staircase.

Day 3
The third day I woke up at Dog Canyon planning on hiking less than 10 miles to Pine Top. But I quickly decided to push over 16 miles to Pine Springs. My main reason was to carry less water with me.
I hiked up the Tejas trail to the Juniper trail. I then hike the Bowl and summit Hunter Peak. I finally hike down Bear Canyon to Frijole Ranch and finish the day on the Foothills trail. I hike a total of 16.3 miles.

Guadalupe Mountains NP - The Pinery and McKittrick Canyon Nature Trails
Day 2
On the next morning of my overnight trip I got a late start. I meant to wake up and do a longer hike but I woke up feeling worn out from the day before. I instead took my time packing up and decided to hike The Pinery Nature Trail. Its an easy paved trail that leaves from directly behind the Visitors Center. There are a lot of interpretive signs along the trail. It is an easy walk to the ruins of The Pinery, a stage stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail Route in 1858. While only a little of the original building is still standing, it is amazing for being over 150 years old.
After The Pinery, I drove over to McKittrick Canyon Contact Station. It is about a 10 mile drive and what I would call the closest thing Guadalupe Mountains has to a scenic drive. From there I hiked the McKittrick Canyon Nature Trail. This trail also has interpretive signs and great views toward McKittrick Canyon. It also displays the desert plants and some fierce Guadalupe winds!

Guadalupe Mountains National Park - Dog Canyon Campground
This is a brief overview of the Dog Canyon tent campground and general area. It is a very quiet campground. While Pine Springs was completely full, Dog Canyon had zero people at it. If you are planning a trip to GUMO, I have other videos on most backcountry sites.

The High-Mountain desert of Terlingua, Texas. One of the last frontiers of the Continental United States. The beauty is breath-taking and the silence deafening.
