After years of speculation, Fairfield Lake SP officially announces its closure. Listen to learn more about the circumstances behind the closure, and the official press release from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
In the second segment, I'm talking to you about the Kammok Swiflet. Easy to set up, lightweight, and durable. This hammock stand is perfect for your next adventure where you don't have trees, or you're not allowed to hang anything on them.
Hey friends! In this episode, I'll be reviewing a bit late, what we did for first-day hikes and the program itself. Got to start the year with a hike on the beach at Mustang Island state park in Port Aransas, Texas!
In the second half of the episode, I'll explore the Rio Grande Valley and the three state parks in south Texas that are part of the World Birding Center.
Thanks for listening! If you enjoy what you hear, please consider subscribing to the podcast and contributing to keeping it going!
I'm going to talk about three items from Sea to Summit you should take on your next camping adventure. These items are perfect for backpacking, but even for car camping if you want to save a little more space. Perfect as a set or split the two pots up, the Sea to Summit cookware pieces are easy to use, durable, and just work... after a little elbow grease on the handle. The silicon cup is perfect for storing in your backpack and is perfect for drinking something other than water like a powdered drink or soup.

This is a subscirber-only version of the Yeti Yonder podcast that was turned into a video now available on Youtube. It has a higher production quality than the typical episodes. Hope you enjoy!
Howdy fellow Trailheads!
You know that movie Dune? I got to visit Texas's version out west at Monahans Sandhills state park. Come along on this adventure and learn about how the park was for me and what you can expect on your next state park trip.
Along the way, I made a stop at Happy Trails Outfitters in San Angelo. A great outdoor-themed store that has plenty of great apparel, but hiking gear and accessories as well. They also carry the Texas State Park Passport.

Anchor has created a new way to bring audio from videos to the podcast. Let's see how this works!
This was from a trip to Lockhart State Park in 2021 where I explored some new trails. You can read about this trip, or watch the full video on Youtube.
Just a note, there are some scenes from this video that don't have any audio when I was just showing images, so keep that in mind if you hear any gaps.
Welcome back to another episode of the Texas Trailhead Podcast! This week I’m giving a pretty big update to the TXTH brand, and introducing y’all to the Texas Trail Company store. Here you’ll find amazing gear to hike in that performs as hard as you do on the trail, or whenever you want to be comfortable. Find amazing tees, hats, home goods and more.
I’m also back to a favorite San Antonio state natural area. Government Canyon is a place I’ve been to before, but on this visit I hiked some new trails, and had a newly found appreciation for these parks. It also helped that since my first visit I’ve learned more about how this park came to be, so that was a plus as well.

#texashiking #texasstateparks #southllanosp I was really excited to check out a new Texas State Park, and South Llano River state park did not disappoint. I was able to knock how the trails I wanted to get to including: Overlook Trail (.7 mi), Fawn Trail (1.0 mi), East Ridge trail, Walter's Way (.6 mi), and the Mid-Canyon Trail (2.3 mi). There were also some points of interest I'm just going to have to revisit on another trip.
Check out the Full Recap for South Llano River SP here: https://www.thetexastrailhead.com/south-llano-river-state-park/
TPWD also had a huge announcement about the reopening of the parks to full capacity.

This week I'm speaking with ExploreMore DFW's Haley Cottey. Their goal is to "encourage people to get outside in their own towns and appreciate everything that is accessible to them instead of always wishing they were somewhere else".
I wanted to know how they got started with the site, but also wanted to share the amazing outdoor bingo game they have going on right now!
Please enjoy and check them out via the links below:

I'm also excited to announce the new Texas Trailhead TEE SHIRT!! Available in two colors, this 100% cotton tee is great to show your love of the Texas trails.

This week I have a big merch announcement! Make sure you visit the site and check out some new goodies in the store.
I'm also doing a quick visit recap from my time at the San Antonio missions.
The mission trail is really just the mission system as a whole. There are five missions you can visit, but there are also some additional interesting landmarks in the area as well.
Now to be clear, there is an actual Mission Hike & Bike Trail, but I'm just talking about the 'trail' in terms of the grouping as a whole.
Enjoy!

This week I'm wrapping up the East Texas Trifecta and giving y'all a quick recap of Mission Tejas State Park. It's filled with amazing pine trees, trails, and Texas history.
Learn about the points of interest, and also hear my talk a little more about the El Camino de los Tejas trail and the plans for the future discussions.
Hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday, and I wanted to give thanks once more about the support and everyone that tunes in to this podcast. I'm so grateful for all of you.
Enjoy!
