65,000 Grand Steps from Rim to Rim →

Touched the Top o’ Texas

Posted on October 12, 2021April 5, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

This makes 21/50 for me and brings my season of State Highpoints to an end for the year.  12 states in 5 months has been one heck of a ride!

Guadalupe is one of the easier ones, I think! …right up there with Humphreys, Mansfield and maybe even Marcy.  You climb a mere 2,800′ over 4 miles.  Took me only an hour and forty minutes.

There are a few other trails you can explore from this trailhead in you wanted to extend your adventure:

  • Tejas Trail (that can be done as a loop, up to Hunter Peak then down the Bear Canyon Trail)
  • El Capitan Trail (different than the one in Yosemite)
  • Devil’s Hall Trail (looked like a wash that turns into a slot canyon the further up you go)

Full trip report coming soon…

My 13th time on this summit, but 1st to enjoy some watermelon at the top 🍉 Thanks to Jocelyn, the "Watermelon Girl", who lugged that all the way up and was gracious enough to share it 😁

Veered right a bit of the South saddle (red line) for a more adventurous route up to Timp... but once we got up on the ridge, we saw we could have done an even more interesting way (yellow line) cutting into that cliff band and zigzagging along the shelves as seen in the 4th picture (taken from South Timp).

Only a few patches of snow remain between Aspen Grove and Emerald Lake.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

The best way to slide down a snowy slope in Spring conditions is like this...

Didn`t get much mountaineering in this Spring, so trying to catch the last bit of something before the snow`s all gone.

Bagged Bierstadt today! Thought I could get Evans too, but took one look at The Sawtooth and went "nope"! I was also by myself... either way, that stretch looked intense even without the snow.
