Crazy thing is, 97% of texas land is private and wrapped in barbed wire. Best way to explore those areas is to attempt to get to know the land owners. We have been lucky in that regard. A good friend of ours just acquired 3,000 acres near Palo Duro Canyon and has given us free range to do our thing. Despite our name, we aren't limited to state parks. It just had a good ring to it. We are always on the lookout for great places off the beaten path to hike and camp. Thanks for the comment.
