ALPINE, Texas — Kevin Urbanczyk is more trail master than his self-acknowledged title of trail steward. He is also an advisor for the Hancock Hill Club, which helps develop, improve and maintain nearly 10 miles of natural trail on Hancock Hill.

The 60-year-old loves a good west Texas backcountry experience. Alpine has one that draws visitors from across the globe.
