Hi Udo,
In der Nähe der Guadelupe Mts findest du auf jeden Fall Unterkünfte in White City an der Einfahrt zu den Carlsbad Caverns (die du dir nicht entgehen lassen solltest).
Die folgende Wanderung habe ich mal gemacht. Sie war sehr einfach.
McKittrick Canyon
McKittrick Canyon [in/near Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX], at the end of an access road off US 62/180. is a mixture of desert, canyon woodland and highland forest. In late October the reds, yellows and oranges of the leaves resemble northern woods. Near the mouth of the canyon grow prickly pear and agaves; farther along big-tooth maples, ferns and wildflowers emerge beside a spring-fed stream. At the far end of the canyon the pine and Douglas fir of the mountain highlands appear. Due to the fragility of the canyon, access is limited to daylight hours.
