Where: Caprock Canyon State Park- Haynes Ridge Overlook Trail and North Prong Loop
Length + Difficulty (Hike or backpacking trip): 6.5 mile hike- difficult
Best time: Not in the middle of the summer (like when I went)
Brief Summary: If you want to get the difficult section out of the way first, take the trail clockwise for the uphill rock scramble toward the beginning. After that, you make it to the top of the ridge for some great views and a relatively even hike. Make sure to stop along the way at Fern Cave for a little oasis in the desert.
What to bring: sunscreen, plenty of water, a camera, snacks
Any Klymit Gear Recommendations: Mystic 20L Hydration Pack

Gear: Horizon Backpacking Blanket
Top three features:
Water resistant, included stuff sack, perfect weight
Best for: when it’s too hot for a sleeping bag (95% of the time in Texas)

Name: Quesadillas
Ingredients:
Tortillas (I like corn)
Shredded Cheese
Shredded Chicken
Whatever else you want to add:
Beans
Tomatoes
Avocado
Etc.
Recipe: I like to use a camp stove, heat up your skillet to medium heat and add your tortilla, sprinkle some cheese, add some chicken, sprinkle a little more cheese, and add another tortilla. Let the cheese melt, then flip it to the other side and let it melt some more. Then take it out and voila.
