The trail is a series of strenuous switchbacks. Stop periodically to admire the view. (Photo by Blaze)

From the summit, you look down at the massive El Capitan and can see for many, mahy miles on a clear day. (Photo by Blaze)

There is a pyramid-shaped monument at the summit. The register is in the ammo box seen near my right boot. (Photo by Blaze)

There is one bridge along the trail in a section of steep cliffs. If you slip or faint, your fall could be fatal so exercise caution. (Photo by Blaze)

In some areas, steps have been created, but the ascent is still taxing. (Photo by Blaze)

The trail is steep, rocky, and unrelenting. (Photo by Blaze)

This trailhead is not just for the Guadalupe Peak trail, but several other trails, too. (Photo by Blaze)
