    Weekend Advice

    I was looking to get away this weekend, either for a long hike or an overnight. Pretty new to exploring Texas and live in the San Antonio area. I like to bring my dog and would rather not travel too far (less than 200 miles). I have already done lost maples, enchanted rock, amistad. This forum is always pretty good at giving me some good advice so have at it.

    thanks,
    doingy

    Easy! Any of these three should do fine. Each is a bit further then the one before it but all are great! Don't have time for details but wanted to help some. Hope you have a great weekend!

    Happy Camping!

    Nice hiking near SA,...........hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Garner
    Lost Maples
    Perdernales
    South Llano
    Enchanted
    Bastrop
    Hill Country
    Inks
    Guadalupe River

    You can read how many miles of trails each park has on the TPWD site. I listed the local parks in my personal hiking preference order. All of these places are within 2 hour drive. Watch out for the equestrian traffic @ Hill Country. Have fun, try them all.
    Charcoal is a spice, dirt is a condiment, and there is no 3 second rule.

    I think you mean Colorado BEND State Park. The "bend" comes from its location on a bend in the Colorado River.

    Re: Weekend Advice

    What type of long hiking is available at Amistad?
