Lost Maples State Natural Area: East Trail

After scrambling for a mile over, around, and up limestone outcroppings deceptively called steps, you can view the Sabinal River and canyon from the canyon’s ridgeline. Descend 400 feet in a quarter-mile over more limestone steps. Complete this rugged hike by making multiple crossings of the shallow Sabinal River, passing huge boulders, springs, plateau grasslands, and wooded slopes.
