Guadalupe Mountains National Park 4-day camping

We will be going to Guadalupe Mountains National Park to camp over the long Labor Day weekend. Stella and I are leaving early Thursday morning and returning Monday evening. It is a 7.5 hour drive. Join us for the whole trip or just a couple days. Transportation, equipment, food, meals, etc. will be the responsiblity of the participants. We would love to have a few folks enjoy this with us but we are not a catering or concierge service. (Yes, I had to say that 😐).

Cost: TBD but proportional to number of participants. Either way it camping so it's cheap.

Common day hikes include the Guadalupe Peak Trail, The Bowl Trail, or the McKittrick Canyon Trail leading to The Grotto. We will hike 2 or all 3 of these. Of course this will be your time too so you are free to do whatever you want from sunrise aerobics in the heat and cactus to sleep all day in the heat and cactus.
