The Bulldozing of Big Bends National Park Begins fellow Dallas residents

We need to band together as fellow Texans to stop this awful destruction from happening. It seems like no one cares. Are we literally this weak as a people? Albanians have been protesting for over 70 days straight to protect their Island. What the hell are we doing? We need to be out there blocking them from doing their job. This is our land, not Trump. Please send this to your friends or other group to spread the word.

Update:

People are out there protesting now. I'm feeling hopeful ☺️

Car camping near Fredericksburg?

Planning a weekend trip to do some hiking at Enchanted Rock and tour the area, but having trouble finding a spot to camp. There’s no car camping at Enchanted Rock itself, and we’re not looking for an RV resort.
Does anyone have any area or parks worth suggesting? Or are there any public lands nearby that allow car camping?

Martin Dies Jr. SP

First time at this state park, was only here for Saturday and this morning. Kayaked about 10 miles yesterday which gave some amazing waterfowl opportunities. Kayaking at this park is a must!!! Mosquitos weren’t bad on the water, but pretty bad on land lol! Gotta love the big thicket area of Texas.

Please respond to the survey.

Caprock Canyon Bison 🦬

One of the highlights from my recent trip through Caprock Canyons State Park. I knew this was the official Texas State Bison Herd, but seeing one this close in person was a completely different experience. They're massive, quiet, and somehow even more impressive than photos make them look.

Enchanted Rock photography

Hey guys! I’m planning on visiting in enchanted rock in the next few days for some photography projects. If I enter when the park opens at 6:30, I’m hoping to get to the summit for some sunrise pictures… is 30 to 45 minutes a feasible goal for that section of the trail? Additionally, are there some other must see spots that would be great for photography? THANK YOU!!
