The Texas Plains Trail has more-than-its share of opportunities for the outdoorsman looking to take in nature at its best. Take off those stuffy business suits, break away from television, and set off to any of these places to breath in the fresh air. We have great places to "make the rapid pace of the world" go away. Enjoy the Great Outdoors!
