First, get out of Texas! (Just kidding

Texas is so big that semi close may not even include places in Texas. If you're in eastern Texas the mountains in Arkansas are hard to beat for backpacking.

Here's a spot you might look at...

Search for State Parks and National Forest in Texas and places nearby, pick a few, and then ask about what to expect there. I'm sure there are members here that have most anyplace you'll want to go.

But remember, part of the fun is going someplace you know little about and exploring. Then let us all know what you found!
