    Those rocks really make this place very special. Seeing the hiking route prompts me to caution everyone to watch where you step. Falling from one of those rocky bluffs could truly be catastrophic. Best to hike with a friend or two, and with a cell phone in case anyone has an accident. But definitely worth a visit! By the way... has anyone ever seen a snake in among those rocks? Don't snakes love cool spots like that?

    Another enjoyable video. I wish you had pointed your camera down that structure at 1:55. I guess that was a fishing pier.

    My dad was working for bell helicopter in the 70s. I have canoed that little lake. It was pretty back then. I didn't realize that it even had hiking trails. Thank you.

    I lived in the Min. Wells area for about 10 yrs. The only thing I ever found wrong with it was the city itself, drugs , crime, lack of intelligence.

    It looks interesting. Sadly north Texas is not really know for a lot of good hiking areas. Many areas are barren and look a nuke went off and killed everything. So fing good new spots is great
