Guadalupe National Park 12/1/22 Salt Flat, Texas. A day in Guadalupe National Park

 








Visitor center. It ain't real. 


Devil's Hall

During this hike, the first half is fairly easy as it is paved. However, halfway through, it is a rocky hike. Wear good shoes or if you hate rocks, skip this one. 


I would just like to add when you hit this wall section, be very careful in climbing or stepping over.


When you get over that wall, you will come across this small looking pool. It looks very deep actually when you get closer. After that, another 5 mins in or so, you are at the Devil's Hall. 












The Plants you will encounter along the way. 


Smith Spring loop Trail and Manzanita Springs. 


This section is very early on if you take the right section first. Once again, this hike is a rocky one. Not as bad as Devil's Hall but it is fairly rocky. 






Nice small spring. The water is really cold. I had the place to myself for at least 15 mins before I moved on. 






The Frijole Ranch museum was closed but it's in the very start of the trail. 


I didn't get to grab a pic of El Capitan (Texas) but here is the link: El Capitan


Your welcome to signs on the way to Carlsbad.

Overall, this park wasn't anything too spectacular. I did miss a certain hike because I was getting tired out. Maybe I will hike up the peak of El Capitan if I'm ever here again. What makes this park stand out to a degree is that it isn't too populated so if you like a smaller crowd, this place is for you. 

See you next in Carlsbad Caverns.

Without it, you can't do any of these activities from 600AM to 4PM. Good luck in getting one. It gets you all amped up trying to get one. Remember, that you need this pass along with the annual national park pass/or $35 pass that is good for 7 days. Add that to the top of your anxiety.* Logan Pass Hike (very popular area. I came at 800AM and got the last parking stall.) Mountain Goats or Rams sighted along with Chipmunks. St Mary Falls and Victoria Falls Hike (Moose sighted) Sun Point Nature Trail Hike Wild Goose Island Lookout Norm's News again (Kalispell) and Abruzzo Italian Kitchen (Whitefish Montana) Nigh Nigh.

Thank God for a good day in Waikiki Oct 5, 2020

  What a better way to start your two week vacation? Yep, a staycation thanks to your government locking you up even denying you the chance to do inter-island traveling. Thank the Lord for my profession for I was able to secure a free night at the Outrigger; there was a promotion for health care professions that allowed you to get a night free only at the Outrigger. 2nd night and beyond at a first responder discount rate. Wish more hotels did this. Anyhow, let's get started. Yeah, Waikiki was like this Dinner and aftermath Moana Surfrider That was it. Had dinner with the family and my nephew. Just walked around a quiet Waikiki to take pics of the hearts all over. 2nd night coming soon. Thank you Lord Jesus for a good day.
