I did this hike, and several others in Guadalupe park at the end of July, and it was incredibly hot during the summer. It is interesting seeing so many people, it was very dead when I was there. It was cool remembering exactly all of your shot locations and my much different feelings as I was climbing.
Great video! And yes the people in Texas are amazing. If you're trying to pursue all of the state high-points or you just like hiking random mountains, I'd recommend giving Borah Peak a try. It's Idaho's highest peak and provides some fun class 3 scrambling on the summit ridge. It's located in the Lost River Range where you can find a ton of other beautiful peaks and views. Absolutely one for the summer though.
Stopped into Guadalupe Natl Park on road trip down to Texas for the Solar Eclipse. Bummed we didn't have time to bag the peak with these amazing views but a beautiful place in an odd location nonetheless!
I have climbed Guadalupe several times. I don't know what it is about this peak, possibly the carbonate rubble that you have to walk on the entire way, but it is indeed as you point out, a knee killer. It's actually 8751' (you said 7800' but I suspect you simply inverted the first two numbers as your wrist altimeter was correct). Enjoyed the video. Wise not to attempt it in the heat of summer.
Thanks for all the amazing content this year! Hope you have a good time over the holidays and a great start into 2025. Wish you all the best. 💙 Any plans to get out in the Cascades at some point?
Appreciate all of your comments, likes and support this year my friend. Hope you have a great remainder of 2024 as well! I have not yet started planning 2025, but love that region of the country and would love to get up there again and into Canada. Initially thinking of a trip to the Sawtooths as well but we will see
Texas is always a vibe for me - but I will say, if I lived there I would gain 10lbs right off the bat with the amazing bbq. Jalapeno Sausage and brisket for me are just 😍
my first peak...will always have a place in my heart
Hope you’re well!
Thanks for a beautiful video of Guadalupe Peak. It was so windy when I went in March 2021.
Yeah the winds seem to be insane up there at times

Sad this will be your last video of 2024! Always look forward to your posts! Hope you and Aria have a wonderful holiday season!
Appreciate you watching until the very end! I will be back in 2025, just need some time to recoup.
Been following you for years and about to do this one this weekend while I’m out and about! Happy Thanksgiving and have a Merry Christmas.
Appreciate ya, you as well 🦃🎄
Heyy welcome to my home state! Glad you got to the literally top of the state.
Thanks for this. Will travel from NM to do this soon.
Good timing for me. In Carlsbad now and plan to hit Guadalupe tomorrow
Loved this hike. Being from upstate NY, was shocked to see the mountain lion warning at the trailhead!
Yeah this area is super surprising based on the surrounding area to the south, these mountains just pop out of nowhere.

Not chasing anything tbh BUT have only been to Idaho once and need to get back soon.
Thanks for the great hike. I have always been curious about this since I live in Texas. Haven’t watched in a while but you are looking fabulous!
🙏 Thanks Carri, really appreciate it

Glad to hear that I was not alone with my knees - they were absolutely killing me by the end of the day

My home state ❤
I feel like it’s the Tx summer heat that gives it a bad rap, it ran me off 😂
