Calling all Club Member Thru-Hikers!

Club-Sponsored Thru-Hike!

We've received several requests to organize a thru-hike of the LSHT--and this is it!  We expect the last remaining sections of the trail to re-open in early 2025, so it's a celebration of that!  Dates are not yet confirmed for the hike, but we need to build a list of interested members.  This hike is initially available only to Club Members.  



If interested, express your interest as follows:

  1. Log-in to Club Express
  2. Go to the Members Area, and Select Forums
  3. Select "Lone Star Hiking Trail"
  4. Reply to the Thread:  "Thru-Hike 2025: Interested Hikers?" (you will need to join the Forum to reply)
  5. In your reply, indicate your interest in the hike.  You're not committing to it--just showing interest.


What to expect:

  • The hike will take place after hunting season, so we'll have more camping alternatives
  • We'll organize some water (and possibly food) caches to keep your weight down and to minimize filtering (but this would not be a slack-pack trip).
  • 6-7 day moderate pace is expected (13-16 mile days)
  • Tent or hammock camping
  • It will be led by an experienced thru-hiker.
