Day 4 - Mar 27 Guadalupe National Park

Today we headed off to Guadalupe National Park. This park is set on the Texas/New Mexico boarder about 110 miles or so from El Paso and about 55 miles south of Carlsbad.

As has become our custom Rosalie earned another Junior Ranger badge. As part of that we took a short stroll down to the local stage coach stop. The stage ran through here for 11 months until a safer route was developed. 25 days from St Louis to San Francisco, averaging 120 miles a day. Them was some hardy folks back then....

The park is spread out over a large area with a few entrances quite a distance apart. Unfortunately we did not make it to the other park areas.
