All I can say is WOW! I just got home from my weekend trip to LMSNA. I arrived at camp on Friday afternooon right at check-in time. The park seemed desserted due to the weather. I was the first one to check in so I had my pick of campsites. I chose #20 due to the wide area. I went camping with some friends so we need the extra space. I spent most of Friday afternoon setting up waiting for my friends to arrive. Everyone finally arrived late in the evening. Boy Scout troops also arrived late in the evening. I guess everyone waited until the rain stopped.
Saturday was spent hiking the East Trail. It was wonderful. The scenery was breath taking and so was the hike up the steep incline.
We did the East Trail counterclockwise starting at the Day Use area and ending in the overflow lot. The trails were pretty muddy from the rain. I soaked in as much of the scenery into memory as possible. I enjoyed every mile of the hike. It was worth it. The trails were not heavily used Saturday when I did the hike around 11am. It was very relaxing and peaceful.
A bunch of scouts finally arrived Saturday night and finally filled in the void of the campsite. We fought heavy winds that night and finally called it quits around 10pm. I left LMSNA this morning back to Houston. I will be back!
PS- For those who like to drive, TX 16 and 337 was a blast. It's very scenic.
