Join the challenge!  If you haven't already created an account or profile, head on over to the Peak Fitness Challenge website where you can log your miles, compete for prizes, win door prizes and reach new goals and summits:  geobetty.com/peak.  The park will not be charging an activity fee for this hike; only the regular fee entrance of $5.00 applies.  This is a new program to support your State and National Parks; We'll see you out on the trails!  (Texas Park Pass holders receive free entrance in to all Texas State Parks, so this hike is free to TSPP holders.)

Peak Fitness Challenge Hike  - Schaeffer Shuffle Trail

-         Start Time: 9:00 a.m.

-         Length: about 2.5 miles / 1.5 - 2 hours

-         *Difficulty Level:  Steep initial descent down old jeep road; transition to relatively well maintained trail with technical sections into the canyon, leveling out along the ridgeline, then another steep and technical descent down the backside before becoming an easy leisurely stroll down the trail. We’ll reconnect with the old jeep road and have one final steep ascent back up to the start of the trail.

Bring:  Water, snacks, sturdy hiking shoes/boots, hiking stick, camera, binoculars, a map and dogs are welcome on leashes!
