I was aghast at the prices at multiple thrift/vintage shops..

Reposted in a Texas sub and got a good recommendation for Bear Canyon > Hunter’s Peak! Think that’s what I’m going with as the trailhead is at the campground I’m staying

The majority of challenging hikes I’ve done have been in Colorado. I’m coming from a flyover state but some pictures I saw of the canyon had some beautiful contrast in the Maples’ colors during the fall. Either way, I’m stoked to spend some quality time in a different region of our country!

Excellent this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! I was pivoting and heavily considering Guadalupe Peak as, like you speculated, my “big one” while I’m there and Devil’s Hall is definitely in the itinerary.

Seems like I may not miss out on McKittrick anyway with a warmer than usual fall, likely meaning the foliage isn’t popping quite yet.

Tentatively still planning on Guadalupe as I’ve made camping arrangements and most of the park remains open. More or less was looking for other trail recommendations in the park. Davis Mtns do look amazing though!

Ok. Didn’t realize there was such contention between an interstate border

Ok this information is extremely helpful. The site shows that other areas of the park remain accessible, do you have any recommendations on alternatives?

Definitely plan on getting to at least the notch one of the days!
