Английская Википедия:Guadalupe Peak
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain Guadalupe Peak, also known as Signal Peak,[1] is the highest natural point in Texas,[2] with an elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level.[3] It is located in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and is part of the Guadalupe Mountains range in southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. The mountain is about Шаблон:Convert east of El Paso and about Шаблон:Convert southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The peak rises more than Шаблон:Convert above the arid floor of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Trail and summit
The peak can be climbed at any time of the year by a maintained stony trail (Шаблон:Convert each way) with a Шаблон:Convert elevation gain.[4] 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.
