It took a little under an hour to drive from the Carlsbad Caverns Visitor Center to the Main Visitor Center at the Guadalupe Mountains NP in Texas. We thought we'd have an hour to do the Junior Ranger program, but upon arriving learned that the visitor center closed at 4:30, so we had less than a half hour. Luckily the Ranger took pity on us, and gave us the badges anyway, as long as we promised to make the kids do as much as they could.
We watched the short slide show, and looked around the visitor center, which had some nice displays of plants and animals. If it hadn't had been Christmas Eve, we might have stayed at the campground there, and done a bit more in the morning, but the visitor center wasn't going to be open Christmas day.
I would have liked to look around at the old buildings at Frijoles Ranch, and in McKittrick Canyon. Guadalupe Peak is the tallest mountain in Texas; it's 8749 feet tall.
