Hiking to (not) Think

I needed a hobby to get out of my head. I went on a hike to think about what that hobby should be… and realized I answered my own question.

So I bought Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Including the Hill Country (buy at Book People) and set out to do all 60 hikes by the end of 2021.
