Thanks for watching, Renee! This was a great climb. We were so surprised that there were mountains like this in Texas. Great views for miles and miles.
Awesome adventure! Looks like such a pretty hike. Nothing beats a Buc-ees😁. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next one. Take care and God Bless
Thanks, Matt! It really was a gorgeous hike and a beautiful day to do it. The highest point in Texas did not disappoint, nor did the largest Buc-ees. Nothing else like it. Now off to Louisiana.
So glad I found yalls channel ,,,,, love watching your videos,,,, great job taking us along,,,, My daughter and myself climbed the Peak last summer,,,,,
I have officially added that Buc-ee’s to my bucket list ! Keep reaching for the stars! On the mountains, I will bow my life To the One who set me there In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone You're God of the hills and valleys Hills and valleys God of the hills and valleys And I am not alone
So worth it! We loved this hike. We were glad our morning turned out to be so nice. Definitely not a hike to do during the summer. Thanks for watching our video!
@MissionAmerica yeah, we took a group of pre-teens up once in June. It can be a warm day, but can get kind of cool further up the mountain to where you need a light jacket.
Thanks! It is a challenging trail, but Jimmy is in great shape and has no problem with the extra climbing. I (Paula), on the other hand, make sure to stick to just the climbing that I have to do. It's definitely a good idea to do this trail in the cooler weather because the heat would make it so much harder. Do you have plans to do any other trails in the area?
Just found your channel from your Door County vlog!! We are heading out soon for our full-time journey!! Looking forward to following along!! Maybe we will run into to each other on our travels!!
I would never thought to bring snow/ice spikes in Texas. I hope you and Paula packed 2 lunches. One to eat going up and one to eat going down. I saw a Garmin created map on Earth Trekkers showing all the switchbacks, just amazing.
We always try to check out the latest info on the hikes on Alltrails to see what condition the trails are in and what equipment we will need. So we knew that there would likely be snow and ice. And yes, we took plenty of food with us. That is one thing we plan for as well- never going on a long hike without plenty of food and water.
Just found your channel and am loving it! Beautiful vids of your hikes! Which month were you at Guadalupe? We went the end of February 2022 and it was just too windy & chilly for us to make it to the summit.
Thanks! We did the hike in mid-February 2023. It was nice weather while we were hiking, but we knew strong winds were predicted for late afternoon. We made sure we were down before they started. Hope you get to go agin and have better weather. Thanks for watching!
Hey Browns ! I have tried to comment on this video 2 other times, but it keeps disappearing. So I am going to try to do 2 or 3 shorter comment…… I loved this hike. It looked to be your most strenuous and longest time wise hike of the 2023 adventure.
Hey Dan, we think you may be right about this hike being the longest and having the most elevation gain of any hike we've done this year. It was a beautiful hike and certainly worth the effort to get to the top.Thanks for watching and commenting!
We really didn't have too much trouble coming down except in the area where there was snow and ice, but trekking poles can be very helpful on steep downhills. And just take your time. It is a really nice trail with beautiful views. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Hey, thanks for watching! We are using the Osprey Duro 2.5L and the Osprey Dyna 2.5L backpacks. There are several different versions. We have the ones with the hip belt and the water reservoir. We love them. They are the best backpacks we have ever used. They are actually made for running, but are also perfect for longer hikes.
@@MissionAmerica thanks so much! I have the Osprey Raven 10L and thinking i need something with a little more storage space. Love your videos. I am trying to prepare and work up the courage to do this hike.
These are both Osprey backpacks. The men's is the Duro, and the women's is the Dyna. We love these packs. They have a place for everything you need for a day hike.
Nicely done. Congrats. Hoping my wife and I can travel together the same paths. Thanks for sharing with us all. Best, Tab
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. This is a beautiful hike. We loved the views all along the way.
Another great one! Thanks for shooting and posting this!
Thanks, Lincoln. We appreciate you following our journey.
Wow! What a climb! And amazing views! Can’t wait to see the next adventure!! Y’all stay safe!

Thank you so much for the encouragement. We really appreciate it. So glad that you and your daughter got to climb the Peak. What an amazing adventure!
I have officially added that Buc-ee’s to my bucket list ! Keep reaching for the stars!
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the One who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley I know I am not alone
You're God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
We love Buc-ees! So fun.
We also love these lyrics- He is the God of the hills and valleys! Thanks for sharing, Dan.
Amen!
Another beautiful and adventurous hike. You guys do such a wonderful job taking us all along on your adventures. God bless!
Thank you so much. Your comments always encourage us. So glad you are along for our journey.
Been up there twice...its a challenge but worth it.
So worth it! We loved this hike. We were glad our morning turned out to be so nice. Definitely not a hike to do during the summer. Thanks for watching our video!
@MissionAmerica yeah, we took a group of pre-teens up once in June. It can be a warm day, but can get kind of cool further up the mountain to where you need a light jacket.
Just did this today and it was brutal. I can't imagine doing it with all the back and forth with the cameras. Kudos!

@@MissionAmerica I was going to do picacho peak, actually, but my legs were too sore. Next time!
Picacho Peak is a great hike. It is one of our favorites, mainly for the adventure of it. Hope you get back to do it. You'll love it!@@safepetproducts
Great video! Doing the hike this year!
Thanks! It's a great hike. We are sure you will love it.
Just found your channel from your Door County vlog!! We are heading out soon for our full-time journey!! Looking forward to following along!! Maybe we will run into to each other on our travels!!
We love Door County! So exciting to be setting out on your full-time adventure. So many beautiful places to see and things to do. Have fun!

Well done! Trekking poles would make it so much easier.
Thank you! We did have trekking poles and used them as much as needed. They definitely did help.

What advice you recommend coming down? I'm super nervous of the steepness and loose rubble rock.
We really didn't have too much trouble coming down except in the area where there was snow and ice, but trekking poles can be very helpful on steep downhills. And just take your time. It is a really nice trail with beautiful views. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
@@MissionAmerica cool! Thank you!!
What packs are y’all using?

You will love this hike. Make sure you do it when it's cool. It would be brutal ij the summer heat.
What brand/model pack are y'all wearing?
These are both Osprey backpacks. The men's is the Duro, and the women's is the Dyna. We love these packs. They have a place for everything you need for a day hike.
