Description: Enjoy a winter hike on the North Wilderness part (Sand Branch
Loop Section) of the Lone Star Hiking Trail in Sam Houston National
Forest. We will hike through hilly, open, pine forests. The trail crosses
small ephemeral creeks and goes by wildlife ponds.
Bring your daypack, three quarts of water, lunch, hiking shoes,
hat, and clothes to fit the weather. And don’t forget to bring your sense
of camaraderie, humor, adventure!
We will meet at 8:00 am in the parking lot behind the
International House of Pancakes (IHOP) at I-45 North and Greens
Road. Look for the gold Toyota Matrix. To reach the parking lot, enter
the feeder off I-45 North, via the Greens Road exit, and then pass
through the traffic signal at Greens Rd. Turn right into the first strip
center you come to (look for Brown Sugar’s Barbecue) and drive to the
end of the strip center. The parking lot behind IHOP is on the right.
