Lake Houston Wilderness Park - Ameri-Trail Hike ~9.5

Dallas has offered to lead a hike this weekend. Let’s help him make it a good one.

Personal note:
I’ve hiked some incredibly rugged places with Dallas. We climbed a mountain where there are no trails. He’s always ready to explore. Keep him in line and don’t let him take you too far into the wilderness.

About HATs and our hikes
https://www.hatsandmore.org/

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. Expect the same risks and take the same precautions you would if hiking alone, including the fitness level to make long hikes. Then enjoy the hike among friends.

We hike about 3 MPH. This is faster than many walking groups.

Hike Safety:
Hiking is supposed to be fun. If you don't feel well or can't keep up, tell someone right away. Stop walking so it doesn't become something serious. Contact the hike leader. We can help get you off the trail.
