HEAT PRECAUTIONS:
The heat index is always a factor in Texas. Consider your heat tolerance. Start the day well hydrated and bring at least a third more water than you carry in cooler weather. Three liters is not a bad idea.
If you don't feel well or find that you can't keep up, tell someone right away. We can help. But stop walking so it doesn't become something serious.
HATs organizers are not guides nor do we have any special training. We are here to come up with hiking ideas and get the hike started. Take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness needed to make long hikes. Then enjoy the hike among friends.
Gathering Place:
Lone Star Trail Trailhead #6

The Hike:
The hike is a mix of forest service roads, trails through the woods. Also included are a section of motocross trails, which can be very demanding. Also, common sense requires us to get off the trail every time a motorbike comes along.
