If you’re thinking about exploring the hiking trails of Texas, take a look at E. Dan Klepper’s new book, 100 Classic Hikes in Texas. Klepper says he hiked 98% of the trails in the book (guess that means there are 2 trails he didn’t hike) and logged more than 500 miles along the way. That’s a low average (5 miles each), especially since some hikes included like Caprock Canyons State Park trailway are more than 50 miles long. The good news is there are plenty of short to moderate hikes perfect for families.

This article on DallasNews.com talks about the book and lists some of Klepper’s favorite hikes in Texas. Klepper even offers some basic hiking tips for those venturing out for the first time this summer. Hike on!
