Thanks. Probably the most interesting fact is the highest point in Texas isn’t actually a true mountain. The Guadalupe range is the ancient Capitan Reef that once extended nearly 400 miles in a shallow area of the Delaware Sea, 265 million years ago. The complete range is constructed of fossils embedded in mostly limestone.
