Join a park ranger on a guided hike through the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains.
This hike is a moderate 1.5 mile hike that follows a low ridgeline west of the Tom Mays Park Access Road.
We will meet at the southern end of the trailhead, carpool to the northern end, and hike along the ridge back towards the vehicles. Keep an eye out for fossils along the way, but remember to leave what you find.
Reservations required; to reserve your spot, call the office at (915) 444-9100.
Bring: water, snacks, hiking boots/shoes, and comfortable clothes.
Optional: binoculars, hiking stick, camera, and a map.
Meeting location: Southern Lower Sunset Trailhead. When you enter Tom Mays, stop by the Visitor Center and let the Ranger on duty know you are part of the hike. This is where you will pay the fee. Take the first sharp left after passing the booth and find a parking space.
Fee: $5 for adults 13 years old and up; $0 for Texas State Park Pass holders and children 12 and under. Pay at the Visitor center as you enter.
