The Lone Star Hiking Trail is a 97 mile trail in the National Forests north of Houston. It is described very well by the Lone Star Hiking Trail Club Website, with lots of good discussion in the Lone Star Hiking Trail Facebook Group.
Having previously done some day hiking, I attempted a thru-hike in 2019 with Samuel, and then succeeded solo in May 2021. I returned to complete the 30-mile “Grand Loop” in February 2022 which was fun. Below are the stories and reflections.
