General Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement: Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Culberson and Hudspeth Counties, Texas
Guadalupe Mountains National Park was formally established, at a size of 76,293 acres, in 1972. In 1978, Congress designated 46,850 acres of the park as wilderness. In 1988, the park was expanded by 10,123 acres to include significant resources to the west. The last parkwide management plan is from 1976. Much has changed since then, including visitor numbers, types, and use; the designation of wilderness; and park expansion. A new plan is needed to address how resources should be managed, how visitors access and use the park, what facilities are needed to support those uses, and how the National Park Service can best conduct its operations. This document examines four alternatives for managing Guadalupe Mountains National Park for the next 15 to 20 years. It also analyzes the impacts of implementing each alternative.
