Comments: My wife and I arrived at the Pine Springs Campground late in the afternoon but still wanted to get in a hike before sunset. We decided on the Devil's Hall Trail because it was short, flat and a good warm-up for the Guadalupe Peak trail the next morning.

This hike takes you through a streambed of Pine Springs canyon, then up through a natural rock formation called the Hiker's Staircase then finally to the finale - the Devil's Hall.

Although there is little elevation gained during this hike, it is very rocky. It will lead you through maples, ponderosa pine and many plant varieties of the Chihuahuan desert. This round trip hike could take you 3-5 hours so bring plenty of water.
