I’ve got some catching up to do! We’ve visited THREE state parks since Martin Creek Lake and not a one has been documented! *Hopefully* I can get that fixed this week.

2 months ago, the kids and I took our belated Christmas trip to Lubbock and discovered that a day use State park was located along I-20 west of Abilene making for a perfect little pit stop along our drive! We timed it that this would be our lunch break and aside from the crazy strong wind way up there, it was perfect!

The park is quite a marvel being a random plateau in the middle of miles and miles of flat country. It’s pretty much a 1.5 mile spiraling road up to the top where there’s a beautiful CCC pavilion, lookouts and a playground. And that’s basically what we enjoyed during our hour there. There are no hiking trails in the park; I’m assuming due to the all over steep terrain, but many people walk, run and bike the road up and down to make for a good 3 mile workout.

And, really, that’s about it! We loaded back up and finished the 2 more hours drive to enjoy a week with family! Below are all the pictures we took in the park. 😊
