Three Forks is a junction of three canyons in the northern Guadalupe Mountains. Like the rest of the Guadalupe Mountains, the rocks in the area are all limestone. Three Forks has some the steepest topography this far north on the east side of the Guadalupes, and has some rare or otherwise interesting plants on its cliffs.
