For a variety of reasons (training for big hikes, pandemics, etc.) I have been doing a variety of hiking, biking and kayaking in and around Houston over the past year. On this page I will blog the routes that I have taken.
Hiking
I started doing some long hikes in 2018 in preparation for the Colorado Trail in the fall. All of these hikes start from our place in the Montrose area.
Hike #2 – East to Houston Ship Channel
Hike #3 – Northwest Along White Oak Bayou
Hike #4 – Rail Line North – Jan 27, 2020
Hike #5 – Red Line South – Jan 31, 2020
Hike #6 – Purple Line South – Feb 7, 2020
Kayaking
I got the idea for kayaking the bayous in Houston from my buddy Emerson. When it looked like the pandemic shut-in was going to last a while I decided to buy a back-packable, inflatable kayak and hit the water.
