Virtual Summit Log

Modern technology allows visitors to record their hike while leaving no trace of their visit.

"Take only memories, leave only footprints" is a commonplace practice when visiting national parks. And yet, we are only human, and often have an impulse to record our achievements. In the early 1900s, climbers who reached the summit of a mountain would record their names in a summit log as a record of their hike. Today, technology allows us to do the same without leaving a mark on the landscape. 

When you reach a summit or other destination in the park, take a group photo or selfie in areas of the park and post to social media and include the hashtag #GuadalupeMountains #guadalupepeak #hunterpeak #lostpeak or others hashtags using your device and social media service. This practice allows you to connect and engage with the park by saving memories and sharing your experiences from anywhere in the world, for generations to come.
