Hiking
This line shack and remains of a tack room were once part of the ranching interests owned by Judge J.C. Hunter. Hunter also once owned 70,000 acres in what is now Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The Hunter family sometimes hosted guests at this site, which they called the Guadalupe Mountain Ranch, when they managed these lands. Although you cannot enter the cabin, it's still a neat place to check out in a beautiful setting for those interested in the history of ranching and the park, and it is just a short distance away from the Grotto.
