Enjoying the sun and warmth in winter at Dana Peak Park!

January 19, 2015 by Nutty Hiker Last Modified: February 18, 2022Leave a Comment

Oh man! I am loving this weather we are having today! It’s sunny and warm, but not too warm! Just right for a perfect “winter” hike!

Hiking in this warm sunny winter weather at Dana Peak Park near Fort Hood

Texas weather always seems to amaze me despite being a native Texan! One day it’s freezing and gloomy, the next day it is warm and sunny. We have a saying here in Texas, “If you don’t like the weather, give it a minute and it will change”. Well, unless it’s summer, then it stays the same, which is hot, humid, oh and did I mention hot!?

Needless to say, I am thankful for today’s weather. I am also amazed at all the new items I always seem to find on the trails at Dana Peak Park; like this small dream catcher hanging from one of the tree’s!

Have you spotted it out on the trails? Either way, take a “selfie” with it and link to it here in the comments. I would love to see how many people can find this little treasure out there!
