This is wild, we camp at the bottom just through the cattle guard coming off the black top. We've been going up there for 20+ years deer hunting with my wife's side of the family. Just past that radio tower we found some rocks that someone had painted up pretty and left. Also found a memorial, probably where the ashes were left of a loved one. As someone mentioned below, you missed the main attraction of the South Rim Road. Spectacular view beyond belief.

I live in Carlsbad, NM. On the east side of Guadalupe mountains. You took the most indirect route possible. From Del City, TX to Dog Canyon is the most remote area imaginable. I've traveled, camped, caved, hunted and explored the area for 50yrs. I enjoyed your video greatly. But you missed all the best part of the Guadalupe Mountains. You were so close to the South Rim road, better camping, better views, bigger tress, higher elevation, and cooler temps. This place is so remote & off pavement. To get from Guadalupe Mountains Nat Park in TX, to Lincoln National Forest in NM is like 25 miles as the crow flies. But to get from one to the other is 200 mile drive in from the east on paved road. Or 80 mile from the west like you did, either way it is a 4 hr drive.

Looks like a fun trip

O:45 - 50 time marker, Interstate 10 and Liv Oak rd, you literally placed the camera on the oil field hills and roads I drive up daily in 2 wheel drive. It is rare when we switch to 4 wheel. It takes several inches of rain to soften the low spots. Normally we just keep up our momentum through the gravel and steer straight. And thanks, driving north of Dell City has been on my list. Enjoyed it.

Too bad you didn't find the Guadalupe rim road you were so close to it try to find that next time you go If you would have left Dog Canyon campground and went North towards Queen and turned left on national livestock road that is the rim road with incredible views to the west

Think I live 1.5 hrs away from this and never been

Is there any scenic overlooks on the way to Guadalupe National Park, coming from the east side ? Where you can just pull up on the side of the road and enjoy the view.
