The Hill Country State Natural Area outside Bandera, Texas is a rugged, wild place that isn't like most state parks - there aren't any real toilets, paved roads, swimming pools, showers, or even drinking water. If you want any of that, you have to go into town. Out at the HCSNA, they have 35 miles of rocky trails made out of old ranch roads, fall line trails, nice singletrack, and bushwhacking expeditions.
The trails are open for mountain biking, but it's really not a good place to bring a bike because of all the loose goathead rock. It's much better for hiking or horseback riding.
All year.
