The park encompasses part of the Gaudalupe Mountains and includes Gaudalupe Peak which is 8751 feet high. The park contains some of the last remaining examples of the pine forests that used to cover much of western Texas and is an area where many different species of plants find there eastern, western, northern or southern most extensions. McKittrick Canyon provides an interesting wet contrast to the drier areas of the park. The author may not like Gaudalupe NP but to pass it off as having only the highest point in Texas (at 1500 ft) is a gross injustice. Ken Zabriskie ABI Indianapolis
