McKittrick Canyon Trail to McKittrick Ridge Campground

The Hike
This nearly 8.2-mile out-and-back hike starts almost a mile above sea level and has more than 2,800 feet of elevation gain.

Keep going for amazing view...
El Capitan in Guadalupe Mountain NP
The route to the summit of El Capitan starts from the Guadalupe Peak trail some 300ft below the summit where you can first see the full vista of El Capitan stretching out before you. There is no trail to the peak, so you will have to navigate and find the best route possible.
