See El Capitan, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas
El Capitan is the southern-most point of the Guadalupe Mountains. At 8,085 feet above sea level, El Capitan is the eighth highest peak in Texas and it's imposing height and stark outline have made it an iconic image for generations of travelers. It is considered the "signature peak" of West Texas.No formal trail reaches the summit. Hikers can scramble up to the summit by first climbing to near the summit of Guadalupe Peak and scrambling down to the south to the Guadalupe Peak-El Capitan saddle, then up the backside of El Capitan. A permit is required as there is no trail from Guadalupe Peak to El Capitan.
The peak is best seen from U.S. Highway 62/180 in the vicinity of the park.
