[edit] Isn't it "Guadaloupe"?

Isn't it "Guadaloupe"? ugen64 03:44, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)

No, that's the French spelling, these are named in Spanish. RickK 03:59, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] location map

This article needs a location map, like the one at Yellowstone National Park. - Bevo 22:18, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Good idea - how do you put one in there? H2O 22:55, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm trying to find out how the map in Yellowstone National Park was created. I would then create an image for Guadalupe Mountains National Park and upload it, and then use it in an inserted table like in Yellowstone National Park. - Bevo 23:01, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There's your image. Very simple to make. I didn't make the table yet. I'll leave that to you. :) -- Decumanus 23:21, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I uploaded a blank one Image:Map of USA.png which you can use to make other ones (I couldn't find one, so I made one). Basically at this resolution, just eyeball the location. I used 255,0,0 red and put down a paintbrush dab using the GIMP. I'm sure that's the way Yellowstone was made too. -- Decumanus 23:26, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! I saw your entry on my Talk page. Thanks for the maps. - Bevo 04:08, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] neutral POV?

regarding the "please rewrite article from a neutral POV" -- it's hard to see how entries about national parks won't end up sounding like advertisements -- most of the population agrees that they tend to be pretty places, you know... 24.227.183.26 07:37, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Took your suggestion about the advert tag. Thank you for your contribution. --Ancheta Wis 07:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Distance and Direction to Carlsbad Caverns NP

Regarding distance and direction from Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico: It should read 42 miles to the Northeast.
