Quest Objectives

What Qualifies (?)

A handful of Texas State Parks have noncontiguous sub-units. For the purposes of this quest, completing any sub-unit counts as completing the entire state park. Additionally, some state parks have associated trailways or historic sites or other related areas, each of which I have treated as a sub-unit.

List of Objectives

Milestones or Smaller Quests

Smaller quests or milestones could include visiting all the parks in various subregions of the state. For instance, the free visitor guide mentioned below breaks the parks list into seven regions. You can also choose a subset of all the parks within a certain radius of your house, as Kristy Tarsha is doing.
