A hidden jewel of Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail (LSHT) is the only long-distance hiking trail in the state. At 128 miles, it's the state's longest continuously marked and maintained footpath. In The Lone Star Hiking Trail by Karen Borski Somers let the author, a Texas native and experienced long-distance hiker, guide you along this unrivaled trail.

Located in the woodlands of the Sam Houston National Forest in East Texas, the LSHT winds through an ecologically diverse region that's just a few hours' drive from Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.
