Personal opinions aside, the description of Gaudalupe NP
posted in the original article is misleading at best.  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.
