The Texas Trailhead : A Texas Hiking Podcast

S4 E6: Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge

Welcome back to another episode of the Texas Trailhead podcast!  It's been a minute, but I want to thank everyone for sticking around while life happens.   In this episode I'm getting things back on track by letting y'all know what I've been up to.  This episode was originally recorded May 21, so it may feel a bit delayed, but the sentiment is still the same.  There's a lot going on in regard to growing Texas Trailhead, and when it's a one-person show, some things get shuffled around.  I went to Stephen F. Austin state park before heading out on my epic west Texas adventure, so listen to a breakdown of what you can expect visiting this state park just outside of Houston, TX.  Enjoy!

S4E5: Where did season 4 go & Stephen F. Austin State Park

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.  Check out Texas Trail Company: https://texastrailcompany.com/ Enjoy this Texas hiking podcast episode!  ?

#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.  ?

S4 E2: South Llano River SP and the Texas State Parks set to reopen

“Ride the trail alone, it ain’t my style... ride, ride, on this saddle...”. Paul Cauthen is one of my favorite musicians, and his song Saddle ran through my mind as I was preparing to record this episode. It’s been a while friends. 2021 has begun and it’s time to share some more adventures. This week I give a quick recap as to what I’ve been off to, and give a visit recap for one of my favorite parks I visited at the end of 2020: Colorado Bend State Park. So grab your backpack, put on your hiking shoes, and let’s go on another adventure. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thetexastrailhead/support

Season 4 Episode 1: Back in the Saddle, Colorado Bend State Park Visit Recap

This episode marks the end of the first year for the Texas Trailhead Podcast.  45 episodes that all started with a desire to get on a mic and chat about how Enchanted Rock SNA changed my life.  I wanted to share stories from the trail, but also share the stories of other's who may have been inspired by spending time outside.  I want to give a huge Thank You to everyone that came on and spoke on the podcast--It means the world.  This week I'm also sharing my visit recap from Goliad State Park & Historic site.  It's more than just a a single location, the park is made up of four places that are rich with Texas history.  I'll also give a recap for the Presidio La Bahia which I highly recommend.  Enjoy!

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!

S3 E11: A little technical snafu & Matthew from @hikeaustin visits The Narrows

This week I'm speaking with Westcave Discovery Center CEO and Executive Director Trevor Hance.   Westcave is a remarkable outdoor space that is photogenic yes, but also holds a deep responsibility of promoting the positive effects of conservation, and getting children outside.  In our conversation we will discuss why the preserve is so special, but also take a deeper dive into what programs are available for kids when they visit, and what the center offers educationally.  I also hurt my foot.  No bueno.  You can hear me pout about that as well.   Enjoy! ?Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center : https://westcave.org/ CHILDREN IN NATURE COLLABORATIVE OF AUSTIN : https://westcave.org/cinca ?

S3 E8 Back to Pedernales Falls State Park, as read by...me.

November 8th parks are free for everyone in honor of both veterans and active military—it is important to note that reservations will still be highly recommended, and some places required. And that being said… The Texas parks & wildlife announced that reservations can now be made up to 5 months in advance. For a lot of folks the reservations have really put a damper on planning, myself included, but for now 5 months is a really good amount of time to plan a larger trip for your family to some pretty awesome places. So start booking up those holidays now I guess My guest this week is the creator of one of my favorite Instagram accounts, @HikeAustin Matthew Guthrie is someone that has always had a passion for the outdoors, but it was when he grabbed the camera did his love for landscapes, and nature really come to fruition. In our conversation this week we’ll talk about how the account got started, his day job that funny enough doesn’t really have anything to do with the outdoors per se, and what it’s like running account with 30 thousand followers. We’ll also continue the discussion about geo tagging and what responsibilities he’s taken to provide beneficial information for visitors and even the parks themselves. You’ll be surprised to learn some of the comments and messages he gets in his inbox. Anywho—please enjoy this episode, and remember, likes, shares, and 5-star ratings are the life blood for free content, so if you enjoy the Texas trailhead content please give it a rating on apple podcasts, and share a link or two on social media. ?
