In Texas summer, you have to hit the trail really early to avoid the hottest time of day. Glad you enjoyed Lost Maples. It's my favorite state park.

Humidity always adds a level of complexity! I lived in Miami for four years, Thomas and when I tell you that it got HOT, it got HOT but on those days when the humidity rose, it was so easy to fall apart after just a short time outside. It can sometimes be hard to breath because of the humidity. I'm just glad you didn't pass out because you were on your way there! Good to see you're okay.

My absolute favorite state park! Great for hiking, swimming, and stargazing. Next time you’re up there, head up to the country store up the road and they have a food truck in the parking lot that has one of the best burgers ever! Also drive over to Leakey, TX you’ll get the most fantastic views while driving!

Welcome to Texas Thomas! Other good hiking spots are: Colorado Bend State Park, Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mts National Park, Government Canyon SP and Enchanted Rock SP. Also, don’t feel bad about the heat exhaustion, even those of us that have been here our whole lives still overdo it from time to time.

Great video. Welcome to my home state. Lost Maples is one of my favorite parks. It's really pretty when the leaves change colors in the fall. Hiking in the middle of the day in a Texas summer is quite tough. I usually wait till the sun goes down a bit. If you are ever in the Houston area give Brazos Bend State park a shot. You can see a ton of birds and alligators on your hike.

Being from Oregon and living in DFW for 6+ years it's been very difficult to enjoy the nature here, both from a weather and availability standpoint. My favorite place for camping in-state is Guadalupe Mountains NP, and Caprock Canyons SP, though they're west and very different from Hill Country. The heat is the real deal - I actually hadn't truly experienced heat exhaustion until the other day when heat peaked up here around 106. It wasn't that warm yet but I had been trail running and I got that nausea and cramps for most of the rest of the day on and off. It was a lot slower recovery than I thought. Your body does have to adjust to the level of sweat output that is necessary, but humidity really counteracts your body's ability to cool down. So all that to say, don't get down on yourself or feel too dumb. It can happen to anyone. Water alone won't solve the problem, and sometimes the heat is straight up prohibitive. A thought I had is that there are some interesting places between Ohio and San Antone that might be great for a meetup video with the rest of the guys. I'm thinking of AR or LA. Also, you're gonna have to get with be program on "y'all". You just "you guys"ed the heck of us, lol.

Good info and idea. I didn't realize the humidity limits the bodies ability to stay cool but it makes sense. Also, I didn't realize drinking water by itself can't keep heat exhaustion away. Agree with y'all and I don't know how he hikes with a long sleeve back pack and hat without sweating.

Great editing on this. I was on a hike 2 weeks ago and experienced heat exhaustion for the first time myself. Not as hot as your location, but here we are not used to 40C + . Also why I rarely go on hikes with 25C + . Was actually close to passing out before I sat my ass down and took 10 min break to cool off with water and some nutrients. My body was exhausted for the 2h walk down. Worst walk I have experienced while hiking. Lesson learned, and experience added. Easier to read the signs from now on. Even though I know this, it's easy to forget. But listen to your body! Glad you are ok. Hope to see you again soon.

Yes! I’ve backpacked this park four times. Easily my most visited place to go. The Grotto is so neat. I am in awe of it more than Monkey Rock. It’s hot in summer here. My summer hikes and trips involve starting a couple hours before the sun rises to get a head start. If I can finish hiking and set up camp by 2 pm before it gets really really hot, I’m golden. Gotta build in more rest periods in shade after noon.

Welcome to Texas! When I moved from NY to North Texas the heat was very deceptive because it was drier , but I tried to play tennis in 100+ heat and ended up with heat exhaustion. Just be careful, and get lots of water the days before your next hike and drink more than think you need to during your hikes.

I rode through that country last summer when it was above 100 degrees on my motorcycle, the famous Three Twisted Sisters ride. I would stop at every river crossing to soak a t shirt and it would be dry in 10 minutes, just in time to soak it again. I loved it though. I'll be going again this spring while it's still in the 80's. You did a great job of presenting the hike, thanks and take care .

Colorado Bend SP is a pretty cool place. Texas is a big place, so these aren't all that close to you, but Caprock Canyon SP and Palo Duro Canyon SP are also worth visits. If you venture into Oklahoma, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is a nice spot also. Obviously Big Bend NP and Guadalupe Mountains NP are great as well. And if you like camping on the beach, Padre Island Nat'l Seashore and Mustang Island SP are actually pretty close to San Antonio. They are all better in the spring and fall, not so much the middle of summer. I've visited all of 'em and there is a pretty good variety of things to see. Just moved to Michigan after being in Texas for 15 years. Have fun, stay safe.

Makes me feel better about my (mis)adventures yesterday in the Texas heat. I too, waited until I started feeling a bit off before deciding it was time to turn around and head back. Started getting that heat exhaustion feeling with a long hike back still ahead and drank all my water. I thought I had enough, but your pace just isn’t the same as it usually is when you get overheated. I went off trail when I knew there was a road nearby that was a more direct route and that was a bad call; no tree cover with a blistering sun overhead made me feel like I was baking in an oven. There was just no winning that one.

That’s a great idea (getting gradually acclimated). I haven’t been active in years but I’m getting back into it and got over enthusiastic and really overdid it on my first time out (100+ degrees, just like this). You’re totally fine, until you aren’t and then you’re stuck out there until you drag your half-baked carcass back to the car. I’m thinking of doing just regular walks at the neighborhood park in the heat until I’m more acclimated.

Hey Thomas! Glad to hear you moved to Texas, would like to recommend a few places around your area. Blue Hole Regional Park, Jacobs Well, and Colorado Bend State Park. They all have a lot of shades and cold spring water, if you get a permit beforehand, you can swim in there. Taking a hike to Enchanted Rock SP, and enjoy a beautiful sunset. Maybe wearing shorts and trail running shoes may help during the hot summertime, when you rest under a shed, and the feel the wind blows on you, you won't feel hot that much. Hope you enjoy the trip next time.

ALWAYS wear light colors & full brim hat in Texas summers. Sunglasses help so much, they reduce your sensory input fatigue similar to snowy conditions, especially in the white limestone Hill Country. I personally wear hiking pants with removable pant sleeves that stay in shorts-mode 90% of the time. Airflow on your body is arguably the most important part of staying cool. If I had happened upon that spring in the middle of the day, you bet your ass I would get my whole body in there lol

First of all, great video! Hiking in the summer anywhere in Texas is tough and sometimes dangerous, which is why it's my offseason. If you come back to Lost Maple in the fall, the temperature and fall colors would make this a much more pleasant hike with the exception of a more crowded trail. If you don't mind the drive, check out Enchanted rock or Mckinney falls near Austin. Again, the summer heat can make both very difficult, especially Enchanted rock due to lack of shade. Fall and winter is when you want to go, but it will be crowded.

Texas Hiking suggestions: -Big Bend National Park + Big Bend Ranch State Park (Spring time before it gets too hot! Check out Balmorhea State Park and the observatory at Fort Davis also on the way) -Guadalupe Mountains NP (The hike to the "top of TX" is a strenuous hike, but a fun one for the bucket list. Also, this NP can be easily combined with a trip to Carlsbad Canyons NP & White Sands in New Mexico) -Palo Duro Canyon State Park (near Amarillo) I'd also recommend making your way up to the Ouachita Mts/Ozarks at some point in Arkansas, as it's 1 state away.

Great Vid.. but you are crazy.. it was 106 on my back porch yesterday (in the shade).. Just East of Dallas.. can't believe you hiked the hill country in this time of year.. Here's my advice, Early October to Mid November is a great time to hike, and then again starting about the Mid February through May is beautiful.. Also, the weather really changes fast in Texas, so you need to become best friends with your weather app on your phone. Just because it's beautiful in the morning, doesn't mean you won't have 40 mile an hour winds and thunderstorms by late afternoon.. Ps.. Welcome to Texas, get out there and explore..

Love you guys' work! Welcome to Texas! Try out Enchanted Rock State Park and Palo Duro Canyon. If you are around 1-35 and want a nice day hike, Cameron Park in Waco is nice. Good luck and stay cool!

I'm from Northeast Ohio myself. The Cleveland area. I totally get why you moved to Texas! After traveling 25%of the state I can see myself moving there as well. Well anywhere southwest really.

If you have not yet you need to try Colorado Bend. Take the Spicewood Springs Trail, and walk IN The spring. You walk up a series of pools with small waterfalls from the pool above spilling down into it. Don’t let the first one that’s loaded with people put you off and try to stay in the water, you can do it almost all the way. It’s magical, almost impossible to believe it’s in Texas. Plus it’s mostly shady and you are in the water.

i took a walk in brazos bend and started to feel the affects after about 20 minutes. neck pain, headache, exhaustion. i finally found the water fountain and it had a wasp nest which made it difficult haha.

Great video! Arizona hiker here, know about hiking in the heat, sometimes it gets the best of those used to it. Add in humidity and it gets worse. Keep hiking Texas and making videos!

Beautiful hiking territory! But, I don't think, no I know, I could not hack the heat.... 🌞🌞 Great video and I actually liked the background music! Great job, Thomas! I'll miss seeing you with the guys, though! 😊

Thomas, well done. I really enjoyed the pace of this video, nice and slow. Loved the shots where I felt I was just "there".
