Challenge yourself against some of the most difficult hikes in the Franklin Mountains.

The Franklin Mountains is a rugged playground for those looking to challenge themselves. This month we will be taking this challenge in the southern section of the park at the Thousand Steps trail.

Length: 3.5 miles

Trail Difficulty: Strenuous. This is a steep and rugged hike up to the B-36 crash site overlook and back. Don’t forget to bring plenty of water for this one!

Bring: water (I recommend 2-4 liters), snacks and/or a sack lunch, hiking boots/shoes, and comfortable clothes.

*Hikers with less than 1.5 litters of water or inadequate gear will not be allowed to attempt this hike*

Fee: $5.00 per adult 13 years of age and older, free for Texas State Park Pass holders and children under 12 years of age.
