Do you have a favorite place to walk?
While there are a handful of picturesque trails scattered throughout Texas, only one is revered as the best place to hike.
Be it beautiful lake views, a glimpse at a glowing sunset sinking below a distant mountain range, or a birds-eye view of the sunrise making the dew painted on the leaves of a hundred trees sparkle around you, something about this trail sets it apart from the rest, so much so, that it's become a Texas recommendation.
Some trails are traversed for their history, while others are admired for their peaceful lack of crowds. Regardless of why you choose to hike a trail, there is one glorious Texas gem you must add to your list!
According to a list compiled by Backpacker Magazine, the best hike in Texas is the 12.6-mile South Rim Trail in Big Bend National Park.
Here's what Backpacker Magazine (via hiker Laurence Parent) had to say about the absolute best place to hike in the state:
"You think Texas is flat and boring? Tell me that after backpacking the precipitous South Rim of Big Bend National Park, with views over the distant Rio Grande 6,000 feet below and far beyond into Mexico. The Chisos Mountains create a rugged sky island of piñon, oak, and juniper forest in the heart of the park, cool and distinct from the desert below. A rim lined by cliffs hundreds of feet high crowns the southern and eastern sections of the mountains."
