When you think of hiking in the U.S., Texas might not be the first place that comes to mind — but maybe it should.

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, Richard is joined by E. Dan Klepper, a Texas native, acclaimed artist, writer, and outdoor adventurer. Klepper is the author of the newly released second edition of 100 Classic Hikes in Texas, and he shares why Texas offers some of the most diverse, rewarding, and surprising hiking in America.

From the desert canyons of Big Bend to hidden Hill Country trails, Klepper explains what makes Texas hiking unique, what dangers and challenges hikers should be prepared for, and which hikes best capture the soul of the state. Along the way, he reflects on his father’s legacy as a longtime outdoor editor, the role of serendipity in his career, and his passion for connecting people with the landscapes of Texas.
