While enjoying their experience at Guadalupe Mountains National Park, visitors rarely consider what operating a national park entails. Some visitors may stop by the Visitor Center for assistance in planning their visit, may attend a ranger-led program, or may encounter a ranger out on patrol or a trail crew maintaining a trail, but many do not see the management and support personnel who are essential to the operation of the park.

Please explore this section to learn how park staff are planning for the future of the park for our visitors, spending fee dollars for deferred maintenance and preservation, as well as applicable laws and policies used to preserve and protect the park.

The National Park Service is committed to providing high-quality customer service. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
