A week on the Guadalupe Mountains Adventure Trail route

We spent a week exploring the Guadalupe Mountains Adventure Trail route in November. The area had received some heavy rain so there were a few mud holes, overall the trails were in good condition. It was hunting season, so we wore blaze orange clothing and did not hike or explore off trail (maybe next spring). Note that coming down around the Brokeoff Mountains toward Dell City the GPX files show some roads which are no longer open, as they've grown up with large mesquite. There you'll have to take the main county road. Blog post from first part of the trip: Dell City to Dark Canyon Fire Tower Video of part of the Guadalupe Mountains Adventure Trailgrab1.jpg

Any other photos you're able to share? I'm sure our members would love to see them.

Here are a few photos. We also made a short video of part of the trip. We did not go all the way up to Timberon, since we'd already come down that way the previous year. Am looking forward to going back to the Guadalupes next year!
