Texas Outdoor Activities and Sports

 

Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,  'Holy cow...What a Ride!' So Live.Play.Enjoy...Get Outside!

 

One of the great things about Texas is that it offers a wide variety of outdoor activities that you can enjoy year round (although I can’t recommend tubing the Guadalupe in January). This section of Texas Outside is for all of you who love outdoor activities and sports including: hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing, disc golfing, horse back riding, surfing, scuba and snorkeling, windsurfing, tubing (can we call that a sport?), and more.  The intent of this section is to provide you with some great locations to enjoy all of the above, some links to information pertaining to each sport, a brief description and rating of trails, and more. 

Click on any of the below links to find out more about that outdoor activity:
