Talking Expedition from Dallas

My wife and I have just completed a Reno-Dallas Road trip and were Quite dissapointed about how long we got to spend in Wyoming and Colorado. I would like to propose a multi day expedition from Dallas to ....who cares, anywhere really to work out the kinks and really develope the multi day experience/self preservation skills that we will use on further and longer trips. We just moved to Dallas so we have no idea what is avalible in the area. Who else is interested? Where else can we go?
We are avid backpackers and have the equiptment, we just need to retool for Cruiser speeds and comfort.

If youre interested in doing some travelling IN Texas....Big Bend is beautiful and theres wheeling to be done there too. Also great for hiking....second tallest point in Texas- Emory Peak? Not really a peak, but it offers amazing views of the Chihuahuan Desert to the south in Mexico. Its a drive, but worth it I think. Enchanted Rock is another fun place. Were in different places....My heart- Texas, my house- Colorado. Good luck!

You are spot on...those are some excellent places to go that are actually in Texas. Big Bend and the surrounding area is one of my favorite places in the country.
