View Full Version : Thanks
Not an AT topic but hiking related.. been lurking for some time reading all I can and trying to learn about gear, etc.. Being in Texas not too many trails but they are here.. Just wanted to say thanks for a great site and a lot of good information. It has really helped in preparing and executing the few hikes i've gone on already.
Thanks
Jyoung there's lots of trails in Texas and area to backpack. I llived in Austin and backpacked. here http://Trails.com/ Check this out on type in the Area in Texas. You also have BIG BEND. Nothing wrong with getting started there.... Also when you purchase gear One item at a time so you dont feel over whelmed and have to buy everything at once. Also start a thread for Texas hikers/You would be surprised....
`I already have few trips under my belt since finding this site. Two to Pecos wilderness in New Mexico and a day hike to Guadalupe peak. highest point in Texas. Finding more and more trails as time goes...

Glad you got to hike up Guadalupe Peak. I hiked it in Spring of '06 and enjoyed the climb and the rest of the Park. Happy Hiking!
