This past year has had my family outdoors more than usual. Now that the weather is cooling and the temperatures during the day are more bearable I have wanted to get out and see more of what outdoor activities the Coastal Bend has to offer.
In my quest to spend the cooler months outdoors I researched some of the best trails in and around Corpus Christi so that we can all go out on November 17th and enjoy National Take a Hike Day below is a list of all the trails and parks I could find that looked like they offered a good day of walking or exploring for your family near the Coastal Bend.
(Due to COVID and some ongoing park closures be sure to check if the parks are open before making the drive!)
