Description
This trail climbs to the south peak of the Guadalupe Mountain. The trail is short, and you can park at the west trailhead for the Las Vistas de Questa Trail or drive up the Guadalupe Mountain Road. The turn-off for the trail is marked with a brown sign 5.6 miles from the first cattle guard on NM Highway 378. Toward the top, use the Lookout Spur trails for better vantage points of the surrounding views.
