I think I am going to backpack Guadalupe NP in early spring - around April, probably Easter since I get that off. I (not officially) plan on taking a couple of days off (Friday and Tuesday) to get in about four days of hiking (hopefully). If anyone is interested, knows do's and don'ts about the area, and/or has any suggestions - please let me know. I have never been, and would love to see El Capitan and Guadalupe Peaks.
Like I said, this isn't set in stone yet, but is definitely a burning desire! I am going to look hard at the calender to maybe find a better time. I have much that I want to do this year and must take my vacation wisely. But I may consider doing this in March, as I am burning to get out on an extended trip again.
