Texas is home to plenty of hiking destinations that are certainly worth exploring alongside your precious pup. Not only are there some great trails all over, but Texas has 89 state parks that offer plenty of hiking and outdoor adventures.
You can expect to pay an entry fee for the Texas State Parks if you are over the age of 13, but regardless of where you decide to venture, you’re in for a treat.
I am a wife, mother, nature enthusiast, animal lover, and business major. I was born and raised in Ohio but now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We share our home with a German Shepherd, several snakes, tarantulas, and a couple rescue cats.
