    Cool. Old Bald Baldy. Great location and wonderful video, Clint and Melody. Love your music and enthusiasm. All the park personnel and volunteers at Garner are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend hiking and camping at this location.
    The last time we were at Garner State Park, I woke the birds up when hiking the trail up the hill to get pictures of sunrise. When you have a chance, check my video on this location from a few years ago....

    Visited this park over Father’s Day weekend. This park was amazing with trails and fun things to do inside the park. Definitely one of our favorite parks to visit in Texas.

      It's a great place. If you can go during the week it's even better. Less crowded and you basically have it all to yourself.

    Been goin to Garner since I was a pup. Sometime you guys need to stay a week or 2 there. The people that you meet, nature, dance floor--its a super park. When we had young children, we walked up old baldy only to be turned away by feral hogs. These ferocious wild creatures will attack just for fun, it seems and they are "pack" crazy. You lived out my dream of getting to the top. Thanks. Melody, you need to rub some arnica on that ankle. The soreness will be history. About noisy people, well they're everywhere. They just don't know that they're in "paradise". You could knock 'em in the head with the beauty of it all and they still wouldn't realize it. But, you were there and that's what counts. Maybe we can get them to turn around, so-to-speak and "smell the flowers". Another fine trip, thanks for bringin me along. ATB, Jb.

    Nice video. We took a break in that same spot on old baldy last summer and will likely do it again in about a month from now.

      We own Leki Trekking poles, but they get in the way of our camera operation. We use them on strenuous hikes like Buffalo River trail in Arkansas and Guadalupe Peak. We have videos of both. Believe me. We use em more than we show. Thank you for the comment.

    I just got back last night, my 25th year going. Luckily were out of the drought, so we floated the river and had alot of fun hiking the old baldy and the old horse and foshee trail.
    Glad you guys enjoyed it, when I make my similar channel, (outdoor exploring of sorts) i'll keep you posted, you might enjoy us as my gf and I enjoyed you.
    Are you guys located in tx all the time?
    I'm about to hit your channel to see what kinda other stuff you got going on in there.
    Happy camping brother!

      Ricardo Santos IV Thanks for watching and commenting. Another video going up very soon. We live in Austin and we camp and hike on average of 3 to 4 nights in a given week. As long as we can keep it within a 3 - 4hr (max) drive into work strait from camping. Somehow managing to hold full time jobs in the process. We admit to being addicted to the outdoors. Explore our channel by all means. We work hard on it. Good luck with your upcoming project. Looking forward to seeing what you got going on and we love keeping the community growing.

    i recently went up the white rock cave trail not knowing it was one of the more treacherous trails and i actually went off the trail and climbed past the cave and while it was crazy dangerous due to the steepness of the hill and loose rock and cacti everywhere, the view from the top was so worth it. i would definitely climb that trail again

      +txrepgirl Thanks! Somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 - 7 miles I do believe. Melody's ankle wasn't fully healed on this hike, so we kept it reasonable. Stay tuned as we have much more on the editing table and will be working hard to get em out.

      It's been years since we did that, but I'd say about three miles to the top.

    What's access like for this? It doesn't appear to be part of the state park. Specifically I would like to know the property owner because I'm interested in this cliff for rock climbing and if it's at all allowable.

I use the action cam for time lapse. My wife uses a Nikon d3200 for photography. Thanks for watching and have a great Sunday.
