Ginny, Where is your favorite primitive camping area when backpacking?
Thanks

I don't know if I have a favorite or not. Each trip I've taken has been cool in some way or another...whether it be animal encounters, or places filled up with wildflowers, or interesting weather, I've enjoyed them all. I can imagine that if I ever make it to places like the Guadalupe Mountains, or Big Bend I'd dub them favs.

But for now, I think Lost Maples, the primitive campsites along the GoodWater Trail, and Hill Country State Natural area are amongst my local favorites. And by local I mean within 150 miles or so of Austin.

If a place offers quiet solitude and animals I generally like it.
