3. try a trail or two, or three ... !
|
Some friends and colleagues have mentioned their frustration in seeking away from home options while remaining distanced and quarantined in this "selah season." They've mentioned their appreciation for my/our circumstances living as we do with wild and pasture life as our primary neighbors. My suggestions have included, "why not try a trail suited for your interest, ability and purposes!"

7. new tab: hiking trails
COVID-19 has prevented many of us from doing many things that we love. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Wear your mask and social distance while you hike the wonderful trails that Comal County has to offer. On this new page, you will find a great list of trails with a description, skill level, and a link to find out more about each trail.
There's also an excellent read about "Trails and Economic Development." This article explores the economic benefits of trails and green spaces to a community. With Comal County's rapidly increasing population, it is more important than ever that we understand the importance of supporting measures to ensure that we have enough green spaces for all of us to spend time out-of-doors, to play, to walk the dog, to enjoy the wonders of nature, or to sit in silence.
AND, we want your comments. Tell us about your hiking experiences.
