We hiked from the Russell Park Campground trail head to the Tejas Camp Campground.\u00a0 This section is 6 miles one way.\u00a0 There is a primitive camp, walnut camp, on the way to Tejas.\u00a0 Walnut camp was really cool, but we already had a plan in place.<\/p>\n

We saw lots of amazing things on our hike.<\/p>\n

One of the amazing sights that we saw was the cave below.\u00a0 We saw this natural crevice as we stopped to let the little man(Wile)rest<\/p>\n

We had an amazing view of the river from the trail.This was the best view of the river,besides the river crossing farther up the trail.<\/p>\n

This was the most perfect Indian paintbrush I’ve ever seen.We saw it at the Tejas campground.There mere millions of them!<\/p>\n

We camped at the Tejas Camp Campground which was nice as it had water and the best smelling vault toilets on the planet.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We hiked back from Tejas Camp to Russell camp on Saturday.\u00a0 The hike back was 6 miles, making our round trip roughly 13 miles.<\/p>\n

Once back at Russell, we fired up the grill and had some steaks that we left behind as a reward.\u00a0 We had a dinner of juicy steaks, crispy brussel-sprouts, and grilled sausage.It was both delicious and refreshing after a long, hard, hike.<\/p>\n
