“Timberline has the greatest guides. They are exceptionally accommodating and provide excellent service.” – Brenda B.
In the vast Chihuahua Desert of western Texas lies an ancient limestone reef that was once buried in a massive inland sea. Millions of years ago the area went through an uplifting, then a period of erosion to expose this fossilized reef. These are the Guadalupe Mountains. In the area you can find Salt Basin Dunes, rich grassland, conifer forests and a diverse collection of flora and fauna. Its remote location and lack of luxurious amenities makes it one of the least visited National Parks, but the fascinating terrain, variety of trails, and widespread views are so worth a visit. We combine a trip to these mountains with a visit to the nearby Carlsbad Caverns with the largest single cave chamber in North America and a chance to explore the unique limestone reef from below. Come explore this part of the largest desert in North America.
