Sunrise Hiker Program Off To Great Start at Tom Mays Park

Sunrise Hikers eagerly await a walk to Mundy's Gap

Become a Sunrise Hiker! The Franklin Mountains State Park has begun a great new early morning hiking program: the Sunrise Hikers. Hiking begins no later than 6 and ends by 8 - enough time for many to hike and then get to work. These hikes are for exercise and enjoyment rather than the usual educational field trips. Volunteers, Barb Carvajal and Jim Tolbert, are leading these short "treks" every Tuesday and Thursday morning through August. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Participants are asked to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. There are a number of trails in the park and a different trail will be taken each time. For more information, you can email Jim. Hikers meet at the main gate off of Transmountain and caravan to the trailhead.

For a list of other upcoming events in the State Park go here.
