The Thousand Steps Trail is a popular hiking trail on the outskirts of Franklin Mountains State Park. It's easy to connect this trail to other nearby trails or just do it as a standalone hike. It's a rocky trail but easy to follow. It's definitely steep in places so only go uphill if you feel comfortable doing the same trail downhill!
