Looking for a longer hike in one of Texas’s iconic state parks? Join us at Colorado Bend State Park, where we’ll explore Gorman Falls, Gorman Springs, and the Colorado River, covering 15 miles of varied terrain.
While this hike is longer than usual, it’s moderate in difficulty, and we’ll maintain a pace that allows plenty of time to soak in the scenery along the way. From lush creek bottoms to rugged hills, the trail offers diverse landscapes and a true taste of the Hill Country’s natural beauty.
After the hike, we’ll head to the famous Bend General Store just outside the park to enjoy some well-earned local eats and celebrate a day well spent on the trails.
Whether you’re looking to challenge your legs or simply savor miles of stunning scenery, this event promises a rewarding adventure in one of Texas’s most beautiful parks.
