Description

This moderated Group serves as a discussion site and information exchange for hikers and backpackers on the Lone Star Hiking Trail (LSHT). The LSHT is located in the Sam Houston National Forest (SHNF), one hour north of Houston, Texas. The 128 miles of "footpath only" trails stretch from north of Montgomery, passing south of Huntsville and Coldspring, and ending northeast of Cleveland, Texas.
