Guadalupe Peak
Guadalupe Peak is the highest point in Texas, rising more than 3,000 feet above the Chihuahuan Desert floor within Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Its summit is marked by a stainless-steel pyramid placed by American Airlines in 1958 to commemorate the centennial of the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach route. Most visitors reach the top via a well-maintained but strenuous 8.4-mile round-trip trail from the Pine Springs Trailhead, a hike commonly called 'The Top of Texas.'
