Hike to Ancient Thera
Even if, like us, you don’t make it all the way to ancient Thera, it’s still a hike with beautiful views.

Walk to Church of Panagia
It wasn’t as exhausting as it looked from below and the views were expansive.
Hike to Agali Beach
This was far from an easy hike but it was scenic. It can be challenging to find the trail once you get down near the beaches.
Hike to Klima
You can drive or take the bus to Klima. We opted to hike down from Plaka and back up through Trypiti and Triavasolas.
Hike to Langada
We meant to do the entire Melania loop. Reviews said two hours to do the loop. It took us about that long just to get from Aegiali to Langada and back. (It was very hot that day.)
Guadalupe River State Park
The Guadalupe River is probably exciting on a hot summer day. On a cooler winter day, it made for a decent walk.
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
This beautiful area of intriguing rock formations is worth the drive from Austin. The loop trail was a pleasant way to explore it.
Chisos Basin Loop Hike
This loop hike has similar scenery to the Window trail and is not as difficult.
Grapevine Hills Hike (Balanced Rock)
If you want to see the Balanced Rock, you need to go all the way to the end of the trail. But it’s a pretty hike even if you don’t manage that.
Mule Ears Spring Hike
This hike is about the journey, not the destination. Gorgeous desert scenery. Little shade. Good thing it was cool the day we hiked.
