Dinosaur Valley State Park would be a great option for a 3-day weekend in October

This is your window to book your Indigenous People’s Day 3-day weekend (Oct 6 - 9) at a Texas State Park. Highs are typically mid-80s, so think swimming access: Mustang Island, Inks Lake, or Dino Valley. Or book my fave three-day Texas adventures: Camp and adventure in Davis Mountains State Park (or glamp at Indian Lodge) reserve a Star-party at the McDonald Observatory, and add a swim at Balmorhea while you’re out there
