Ed and the mountain

Ed and the mountain, originally uploaded by Edgee.

We traveled to the Guadalupe Mountains from Austin to go camping again. After driving all day from Austin, we arrived at the National Park at night. It wasn’t until morning that we saw the beautiful surroundings. The area reminded me of the mountains around Tucson except without any Saguaro cacti. I’m standing in front of a large rock formation called El Capitan, which is part of the southernmost portion of the Guadalupe Mountain range. Behind El Capitan, out of view, is Guadalupe Peak, which is the highest peak in Texas with an elevation at 8,749 feet above sea level.
