Hiking
Manzanita Spring is a small wide pool located a short distance up a paved trail from the Frijole Ranch. It is a great place to look for wildlife like mule deer, elk, javelinas, gray foxes, and birds like violet-green swallows and white-throated swifts. You also get great views of El Capitan and Guadalupe Peak from this spot. Manzanita Spring is a great place to rest, sip some water, and take in the views and wildlife in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
