What To Expect
Step back in time at the Frijole Ranch Museum, where you’ll explore the rich history of early farming and ranching in the Guadalupe Mountains. Established in the late 1800s, this historic site features original buildings, including the ranch house, now a museum. Discover the stories of the Rader brothers, the Smith family orchard, and the region’s Native American history. Surrounded by stunning desert landscapes, it’s a peaceful stop to soak in the beauty of the area. The museum is open seasonally, depending on volunteer availability.
The Guadalupe Peak Trail is a challenging 8.4-mile hike, gaining about 3,000 feet in elevation. The trail offers diverse landscapes, from desert to pine forests, and culminates in stunning panoramic views from the highest point in Texas. This iconic trail is a must-do for avid hikers seeking adventure and stunning vistas. Just be sure to wear sturdy boots, bring plenty of water, and start early to avoid the heat.
