Description 

  • ***************************************
I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR MP TO UPDATE THIS SECTION YET NOTHING
Sure would be nice if a mod. or admin. would fix this the way it should be. Tom Mays is not an area, it's a spot and belongs in the Franklin Mountain section. Same thing for McKelligon Canyon. When or if this is improved. I'd be willing on adding more material.
  • ***************************************


Numerous climbing areas exist in the mountain range. Some areas have access issues and others are open to the public through the Texas Park & Wildlife Dept. (access fees may apply).
