There is a small seating area with views of the New Mexico and Texas countryside from the top of the ridge.

A view looking back to the visitor center; at this point, the trail goes from being paved to being gravel as it is part of the Old Guano Road.
The Old Guano Road Trail continues straight ahead while the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Trail breaks off to the right.
A texas horned lizard, camouflaged against the desert rocks, sits along the side of the trail. Be careful where you step, as lizards and snakes can be found throughout the day.
Looking back into the park, the New Mexico environment is on full display.
The view of the surrounding countryside spread out before you. Flowers can be seen blooming in the spring.
