Idk how you managed to go to the busiest park in texas and created a whole video without a single person but bravo lol. Thanks for showing different trails other than old baldy. Gonna have to make a trip to hike all these trails once peak season is over
Sophie and I just hit this park this past weekend! We've hiked a good many Texas trails and this trail system was certainly a work out. We did 7.5 miles worth of trails and nearly 1600 feet of elevation gain!! Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your adventure. We subscribed!
The past few years in the fall, my mom and I (and her dog) go to parks around the hill country. I love this park and Bastrop State Park is beautiful too. I send all these videos to my mom that you make. She really enjoys them as well. Thank you for these little gems and appreciating the smaller towns in Texas and the beauty of this state. I have lived in the city over 20 years and grew up in Cat Spring which is a tiny town but has a lot of history not to be overlooked. Looking in to moving back to my country roots. Again, thank you for you videos!! God bless.
It's time I go back, haven't been since I was a child. 30 years later...now its time for my children to experience this magnificent place. Thx for the hikes.
I’m so grateful to you sir. Grew up camping with extended family and that activity kept us close much longer than we would have otherwise. Lovely memories for me now that I am 69 years old. I’m very grateful for the time & care you invest in this channel. Pamela Self I didn’t always appreciate my home
This terrain reminds me of the hills I hiked around Sisterdale where my dad and some neighbors of ours had a deer lease back in the late 1950s. Back home on the featureless TX Panhandle farm we were Free Range kids, so there was no way we were going to be corralled with so much interesting topography around us. Our main restrictions were to go the opposite direction the hunters had gone each day, and to cross no fencelines, even if they were down. I thought I was a female version of Spanish explorer Coronado. If I'd had my horse there, I'd have gotten lost for dang sure.
Wow! That's sum camera that you use, the way you zoomed in on the dam from near to top of old baldy. Thanks for another fantastic video! PS. Watch out for rattlesnakes in those caves 😉
First went to Garner SP with my family when I was 10 years old in 1969. Back then, the park entrance was still on Hwy 83 at the bottom of the pass. I remember getting out of the car and helping unload the luggage into our screened-in cabin, then RUNNING as fast as I could up the nearest trail into the hills! As a kid from the relatively flat terrain of central and coastal Texas this place was such a treat!
I have pictures of the trip I believe I was there when I was 12 years old yeah Baldy was something portions of it I just slid down like a slide on the leaves very steep.
Not sure if you have a filter on that you used hiking up or my new television needs an hd adjustment but it almost looked cartoon like? Nether the less another great video Thanks!
Nice hike. I recently got back into hiking and those trails look a little to advanced. Do they have easier trails that I could enjoy the hill country? I grew up camping and hiking Cleburne, Dinosaur Valley, Mineral Wells, Mother Neff and of course many others.
Here is a question I have always had. You said the Texas Hill country used to be cooler and wetter. But that water is only kept in there now due to all the dams and barely flows. So that means without those dams all those cedar trees would be dying anyway bc these rivers would be dry.
Thank you Joe Williams, I was a bit confused due to the fact that what I was seeing (dank, muddy water) didn't jive with all the comments about the Frio's "clear" water. I thought it might just be that my perception of "clear" could be skewed by my familiarity with snow melt from Northern NM's river water.
