About the The Notch hike

Spanning 9.9 miles in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, The Notch climbs 1,092 feet in total, from a low of 5,015 feet to a high of 6,058 feet. The steepest pitch reaches 28 percent, against an average of 110 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the moderately strenuous band.

152 elevation samples along The Notch make up the profile on this page and the contour work on the print, so a steep section shows as a steep line, not a flat one. The high point sits at the turnaround, about 5.1 miles in. Every style on this page uses that data; only the palette and layout change.

The area

Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a national park of the United States in the Guadalupe Mountains, east of El Paso, Texas. The mountain range includes Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas at 8,751 feet (2,667 m), and El Capitan used as a landmark by travelers on the route later followed by the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach line.
