Top of Texas

Towering over the West Texas desert, Guadalupe Peak is the highest point in the state of Texas, standing at 8,749 feet tall. In addition to being the tallest mountain in Texas, it also has one of the most striking summit views in the state. From the top, El Capitan (the peak in the center) splays out in the center of the image, surrounded by stark desert over 3,000 feet below.
