Cleburne State Park
I grew up loving the Wild West, filled with rich and vivid imaginations on cowboys, bandits and hidden treasures in a rugged and rustic setting which I frequently see on television and movies. Texas has long been a famous symbol of the Wild West. It is known as the Lone Star, this historic state in the south and has been associated with the desert rugged setting of many cowboy films. However, contrary to its image, only ten percent of Texas topography is desert. Majority of the state is composed of former prairies and grasslands.
