Our Mission
We’re establishing a 1,500-mile hiking, cycling, and horseback trail through the heart of true Texas. It’s the first of its kind for the state. Learn more at xTexas.org.
Our Vision
The xTexas Trail Project is working to connect the magnificent people, cultures, and landscapes of rural Texas. From the Piney Woods in the East, through the Hill Country, the Chihuahuan desert, and up into the Tran-Pecos Mountains, this seasonal late fall to early spring trail is a rugged, remote, romantic work in progress.
