    Desert Beauty and Below on the Guadalupe Back Country Byway

    Published on Oct 15, 2008

    Stretching 30 miles across the Chihuahuan Desert, the Guadalupe Escarpment, and the Lincoln National Forest, the Guadalupe Back Country Byway offers a sense of liberation with clear skies speckled with fluffy white clouds and the fresh smell of creosote bushes. Although there are over 28,000 oil and gas-producing wells throughout the region, the Bureau of Land Management seeks above all to maintain a sense of balance with an increased focus on the area’s abundant natural beauty, which means you’ll still find plenty of activities and adventures awaiting you on your journey.
