We will meet at the West Trail trailhead at 9am, we will be starting on the east-west trail, that trailhead will be to the left after you come in the park.

Since we will end our hike on the East trailhead by the main day use area, there is an option to park there before the hike and have your car waiting to carry your tired feet away.

Either way, there is an extra 1/2 mile of hiking to get from one trailhead to the other.

There is little to no cell coverage in most of the park.

This is a MODERATE Hike for about 8 miles. We will do the West and East Loops.
This is NOT a beginner hike, there is some very rough, steep and often times slippery terrain.

Please bring enough water!!

Option to visit the Apple Store in Medina and then have a late lunch/early dinner at Brick's River Cafe in Bandera after the hike.
