Guadalupe Mountains NP and Burritos!
Although the trip may seem excitement-filled already, THIS is our view while driving hundreds of miles between “exciting” stops. So please don’t question why the Marfa Burrito place (below) made us very happy.
Marfa Burritos in Marfa, TX; It’s the places that are hard to find and don’t look like much, which provide the best tasting, freshest food in the area!
We didn’t have a lot of time to explore the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, but we saw the highest peak in Texas, Gaudalupe Peak, behind the National Park sign. It’s height is 8751ft.
In front of Guadalupe Peak is the second highest peak, El Capitan, at 8078ft.
Since doggos are only allowed on paved trails, we walked the Pinery on a nice sunny day. This is a path through the history of Pine Springs when it was a stopping place for mail stagecoaches. There were just remains of buildings but at least we got to walk through part of the National Park.

One random desert plant and a shot of the very dusty Hilda and Ragnar, from Minnesota.
