| Hike Summary: | Hike started at the visitor Center. Trails gives a good sample of trees, flora, birds and terrain in this area of Texas. Got there early but it didn’t take long to heat up. Trails rates an easy. Start out with at least 1 bottle of cold water. Be sure you also see the Museum. This may not be your typical hike but it is a good educational place to visit. |
