The Texas Trailhead : A Texas Hiking Podcast

Hey friends!  In this episode, I'll be reviewing a bit late, what we did for first-day hikes and the program itself.  Got to start the year with a hike on the beach at Mustang Island state park in Port Aransas, Texas!    In the second half of the episode, I'll explore the Rio Grande Valley and the three state parks in south Texas that are part of the World Birding Center.   Thanks for listening!  If you enjoy what you hear, please consider subscribing to the podcast and contributing to keeping it going!  

Take a trip to Dinosaur valley state park, and learn a little more about the best way to not burn down your campsite.  The Ignik Firecan.  I took a three day camping trip and made it to a handful of different state parks on my way home that included Meridian State Park, Cleburne State Park and Dino Valley State Park.   While I was just at Dino Valley for the day I was able to get in some great sights, stick my feet in the water, and even see dinosaur tracks! --- Texas was really dry this summer so a lot of parks around the state had burn bans in effect.   Ignik sent me their Firecan for review, and I found it's a wonderful alternative to natural fires.  They even make great things to have in the cold months as well.  ▬▬▬▬▬ Misc ▬▬▬▬▬ 🎧  Do you like the music in this video?  The tracks are from Epidemic Sound.

Take a day trip to Meridian state park, and Yeti just released a new water bottle. Will it compete with Nalgene?

The weekly recap of outdoor news is a fun email blast I sent out, but recently the Texas Parks & Wildlife dept. sent out some information on small towns that have received grants for outdoor spaces!  See if one of your towns made the list.  Think you need to dedicate a week to Big Bend?  Well, not quite.  You can definitely see a good amount of the national park in one day.  If you accidentally have an opportunity to visit Big Bend, here are some places I definitely recommend you checking out on your way to Terlingua or Marfa.  Check out Texas Trail Company: https://texastrailcompany.com/ Enjoy this Texas hiking podcast episode! 🔔 Subscribe to my YouTube for more outdoor adventures: https://www.youtube.com/thetexastrailhead Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetexastrailhead Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetexastrailhead Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/texastrailhead My Gear: 📸Canon 70D: https://amzn.to/3koM6p2 📸DJI Osmo Pocket: https://amzn.to/2HvOyLR PODCAST Equipment: Here is all the gear I use to make this podcast Microphones- Audio Technica ATR-2100 USB https://amzn.to/2tGmvTk Headphones- Audio Technica ATH-M20x https://amzn.to/2t4tPYH Tendak USB 3.0 Hub (To power all of the USB devices) https://amzn.to/36IzQsE Beelife Pop Filter https://amzn.to/37Jsplg NeeWer Professional Mic Stand https://amzn.to/37LpMPM Focusright Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface https://amzn.to/2TjYe0b By purchasing anything on the gear list I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Howdy fellow Trailheads!  You know that movie Dune?  I got to visit Texas's version out west at Monahans Sandhills state park.  Come along on this adventure and learn about how the park was for me and what you can expect on your next state park trip.   Along the way, I made a stop at Happy Trails Outfitters in San Angelo.  A great outdoor-themed store that has plenty of great apparel, but hiking gear and accessories as well.  They also carry the Texas State Park Passport.  If you'd like to read a full recap on this visit you can do so at this link: https://www.thetexastrailhead.com/monahans-sandhills-state-park/

Anchor has created a new way to bring audio from videos to the podcast.  Let's see how this works!   This was from a trip to Lockhart State Park in 2021 where I explored some new trails.  You can read about this trip, or watch the full video on Youtube.  Just a note, there are some scenes from this video that don't have any audio when I was just showing images, so keep that in mind if you hear any gaps.

A little bit of west Texas in this episode! West Texas may feel like it’s barren, but once you dissect the area more, you’ll learn its filled with amazing life and wonder. There are two places that I really enjoyed: The Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center just outside of Fort Davis, and south of there at Seminole Canyon State Park. Learn about what to expect at this two amazing destinations.

Social media is known as life’s highlight reel, but I pay more attention to the stories that peel back the emotion curtain and expose more realistic viewpoints when it comes to what you can expect outdoors, and the pain that can happen along that journey. Enola’s photos caught my eye one day because the imagery was different than anything else on my feed, but it was her words that were attached to the photo that made me follow along. The words and the pictures were tinted with emotion that was relatable, and reflected a person who was wanting to see beyond the glitter of life, and delve deeper into her own self. This interview was recorded a little over a year ago. Before she left for a road trip of self discovery, so it’s fun to look back and talk about her trip in anticipation.

Welcome back to another episode of the Texas Trailhead podcast!   In this episode, I venture out to Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge.  This is one of 21 national refuges in Texas and it is located just outside of Austin, TX.  It's a fantastic place to hike and do some birdwatching, I really hope you can make a trip out!

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!

“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.

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!

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 🔔 Subscribe to my YouTube for more outdoor adventures: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6c7zMdkXWmktpXWlDnGP5w/ Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetexastrailhead Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetexastrailhead Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/texastrailhead  My Gear: 📸Canon 70D: https://amzn.to/3koM6p2 📸DJI Osmo Pocket: https://amzn.to/2HvOyLR PODCAST Equipment: Here is all the gear I use to make this podcast Microphones- Audio Technica ATR-2100 USB https://amzn.to/2tGmvTk Headphones- Audio Technica ATH-M20x https://amzn.to/2t4tPYH Tendak USB 3.0 Hub (To power all of the USB devices) https://amzn.to/36IzQsE Beelife Pop Filter https://amzn.to/37Jsplg NeeWer Professional Mic Stand https://amzn.to/37LpMPM Focusright Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface https://amzn.to/2TjYe0b By purchasing anything on the gear list I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
