Re: Looking for Good Park with Great Hiking

Caprock Canyons is beautiful. It's amazing to have such diverse geology all in one state. We stayed there this summer for a few days. We hiked the North Prong trail and would have done more but it got to hot to continue. If you go, camp in the South Prong area. There are just composting toilets over there but if you must, you can drive to the shower house at the main campground at the top of the canyon. The view and solitude in South Prong was great. I'll try to change my Avatar so you can see the formation at South Prong trail.
I also agree with Guadalupe Mountains, Big Bend, Lost Maples as top hiking picks, but don't forget perdernales Falls, Just outside Austin in Johnson City. It is a huge park, maybe third largest in the state ( Palo Duro and Big Bend Ranch 1 & 2 ). Perdernales could turn into a Hill Country road trip and get a few other stops in while down here.
Enjoy our state while you're here. It really is a whole 'nuther country.
