Texas

Two grasslands in Texas; each quite different from the other.

McClellan Creek National Grassland is the smallest of all the grasslands.  Mainly, it surrounds Lake McClelland and is now a recreational area.

 

Lyndon Johnson National Grassland was formerly called the Cross Timbers Grassland.  It's about thirty-five miles from Fort Worth, but you'd never know you were so close to a large urban area.  This area is the interesection of a number of different environments: open prairies, oak groves and thickets.  There are miles of horse trails.

 

Each color marks a different trail.  At this point, four trails share the same path.
