American Airlines Guadalupe Peak Monument...Click on colored print for details.

Trail and summit

The peak can be climbed by a maintained stony trail (4.25 miles or 6.8 kilometres each way) at any time of the year, although snow may linger in winter and storms and strong winds may make the journey hazardous.^[5] The trail is part of the network of hiking trails in the surrounding national park.
A stainless steel pyramid marks the summit. It was erected by American Airlines in 1958 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Butterfield Overland Mail, a stagecoach route that passed south of the mountain. One side of the pyramid has the American Airlines logo. The second side displays a U.S. Postal Service tribute to the Pony Express Riders of the Butterfield Stage. The third side displays a compass with the logo of the Boy Scouts of America. A summit register contained in a metal ammunition box is located at the base of the pyramid.....
