Guadalupe Mountains State Park

Our next day was hiking in Guadalupe Mts state park. We hiked Devil's Hall, 4.2 miles...lots of climbing rocks along the way. It was a pretty easy hike...everyone did fine. Once we hit the end of the trail we played hide and seek, had a picnic, rock climbed then headed back to the car. Next stop, Hueco Tanks State Park. Basically rock climbing, we hiked to the top. A full day of hiking and rock climbing....we were worn out! As we left the park we saw a tarantula in the road...and another on the side of the road so we stopped, of course ;)
