TX  Aransas Co., 6-12-16

John Mitchler took a break from other lists and actuallydid a county highpoint! Wow.

For Aransas, I used the trip reports of Covill and Oeser.They describe two different hills. Covill describes a bench hill on the trailand Oeser describes a hill with thorns on thorns which is off trail.

The topographic 55 highpoint appears to coincide with the thorny hill.

>From Rockport TX (north of Corpus Christie) drive 22miles on highway 35.
Turn right on FM 774 and drive 9.2 miles (watch for themany curves).
Turn right on FM 2040 and drive 6.7 miles to the VisitorCenter of Aransas NWR.
Drop in and pay the nominal fee (or use your Parks Pass).
Then visit the alligator viewing platform. We spottedhuge one.
>From the VC, drive 2.8 miles to the Dagger Point road onyour left.
Drive a mile or so to the parking lot dead end, watchingfor the Dagger Point Trail on your left, before you arrive at the lot.

The Beach Trail at the parking lot is closed, likely dueto beach cliff erosion. Walk back to the obvious Dagger Point Trail. It is wideand sandy, and cuts through the dense vegetation. Shortly you ascend a hillwith a bench and broad views to the south. Continue past this, as Oeserdescribes, descend, and stay right at any junction. At any point before you pass the dry pond,choose the least deadly entry into the thorn on thorns vegetation, and beginyour bloody crawl to the top of the sandy hill. The summit was nominally open. Ifyou have enough blood, return down to the trail and back to your car.

For those interested, I took two photos from the samespot; 1) a photo of the bench on the hill and 2) the thorn-on-thorn hill acrossthe dry pond.

This is the closed trailhead of the beach trail, at theparking lot:

This is the trailhead of the loop trail:

This may be the bench hill:

This is the thorn on thorns hill which is just east ofthe trail and the (dry) pond:

This is an 80 ramp tower which provides views of the bay(about 2 miles further south of Dagger Point):
