After Big Bend we traveled to the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas, The drive was very exciting with the high wind gusts and 7-8% long mountain road grades. We experienced our first desert dust storm, unbelievably large.We stayed at Pine Springs National Parks Campground, pretty much a paved parking lot with no hook ups. You can hike right from the campground with a starting elevation of around 5600 feet.
