I spent a Thanksgiving break backpacking up to Guadalupe Peak. We camped at the site near the top. It can get very windy up there many times of the year and that site is fairly exposed with limited tree cover. It was a chore setting up camp and boiling water that evening! Very worth it to watch the sunrise on the peak!
Great piece, I have been up there twice, camped up there each time. One of the great views in the park. Also one of the hottest hikes in the park if not done in the winter.
