We are at that pleasantly temperatured time of the year, when the relatively long 5-mile drive to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area section of the Wichita Falls Circle Trail is my favorite go to location for nature communing, endorphin acquisition and enjoying the great outdoors.
Today was particularly nice, the air climatized into the low 70s on this next to last Friday of the 2026 version of October.
The Wichita Bluff Nature Area section of the Circle Trail is the section with the most elevation gains and losses, up and down the bluffs.
In the above photo documentation, we are high on the bluffs, looking east towards downtown Wichita Falls.
Let's turn around and look the opposite direction.
Actually, this turned around view is looking a bit northwest. That shiny reddish-brown thing you see is the Wichita River, currently running high due to all the recent rain.
Some people who have never been to Texas, for some reason, think the state is all flat brown desert. As you can see, via the photo documentation, at my North Texas location, that certainly is not the case.
It is more of a dense green jungle-like landscape, at the particular location we are looking at above.
Hiking up the bluffs today seemed really easy. I think this may be being caused by the fact I have lost some poundage, which apparently was weighing me down more than I realized.
