Explore the older hiking trails in the park with park rangers and dive into the story of the CCC Boys; the young men who helped build many parks, including Mission Tejas.

Come discover the story of Mission Tejas State Park's early beginnings as a forestry park in the 1930's!

We will be hiking a mile-and-a-half course on Big Pine, Olen Matchett, Lightning and Cemetery Hill Trails with stops along the way at several landmarks that tie into the park's early stages, including the Sentry Pine.

Please note that this hike will be somewhat difficult with several changes in elevation.

Where: Meet at Park Headquarters outside the Visitor Center. Restrooms available here.

When: Oct 30 @ 9:30 AM.

Cost: Regular Admission into the park: $4/person. Kids 12 and under and carriers of a valid Texas State Parks Pass do not have to pay admission.
