go hiking

I want to hike ER for my birthday… it’s an easy hike, but that’s all my dog and my boyfriend will be able to handle. I noticed someone below me write that Texas does not have mountains … this is not true! We have some of the most beautiful mountain hiking available in the country in Big Bend State Park.

I think I want to step up my hiking and maybe do some back-packing!

Now that I am back in Austin I get to do this all the time. It is so great to be back! The Trinity River just simply doesn’t compare with the beauty of the Texas hill country…Archer seriously did me a favor by breaking up with me if it means I get to live here for the rest of my days.

I took my dog to St. Edward’s park this weekend and despite that the weather was gorgeous, there was hardly anyone there. We hiked the whole outer loop and lingered for a long time at the overlook on the top of the hill…wow! I haven’t felt that kind of peace for a long time. I can’t wait to get back out there next w/e.

I am going to go hiking in Lost Maples, Inks Lake and Garner State Park, three of the most beautiful state parks of Texas.
