not too hard but not too easy. flowy with some chunky. it was peanut butter
THEY ONLY TAKE CASH. :) Drove 40 mins out and forgot they only take cash. Decided to go back out for some doll hairs and no regrets! Such a beautiful hike. Perfect beginner running trail... if you start at the upper level it goes from a smooth incline to a rocky, fun adventure! Do not recommend going in the middle of the day without a hat, sunscreen & water. The river has a wee bit of water and so many little bluff side lounging spots.
This particular loop is a bike trail. I hiked it anyway and it was really flat and boring so I wrapped up early. Also very little shade so bring sun protection. The actual hiking loop here is really good though but only a 5 mile loop
Easy, leisurely ride. Short cuts took 45 min. A great ride to be social on.
This trail was awesome! There a course for canyoning, that eventually about a mi or so in leads right to the river and Upper River Trail. Will definitely be coming back and they are waiving park fees right now during Covid, otherwise I hear it’s hard to get reservations here during normal season
This trail consists of a series of mountain bike trails that wind through the upper portion of the park. It’s a nice walk and easy to follow. The views are good, but not great, typical Texas hill country scenery. We completed 8 miles that did not include a few of the black diamond portions of the trail. We only saw one other person along the way. The easiest section and less scenic portion of the trail is to the left of the trailhead at the parking lot. Watch for mountain bikers and be prepared to yield if you’re on foot. If you’re on a bike, pay attention to the signs marking the difficulty of the portion of the trail.
We hiked the Lower and Upper River trails. Absolutely beautiful as the trail progresses. We happened to be blessed with great weather which made the day more enjoyable. my favorite part of the Upper trail was actually past the mapped portion. Once you get to the big rocks, keep going for a treat.
Amazing trail! We hiked down to the river then up a couple miles until we found the trail that takes you up to canyon cave. Not for the faint of heart during August, the weather averaged 98 degrees. Bring plenty of water. Once you get to the trail that takes you up to Canyon cave (also known as “sex cave” by some rock climbers & im not sure why), the trail up to the cave is very shaded, lots of lovely vegetation, a rock wall of ferns and peaceful river flowing through. Spots where the water gathers enough the wade in, very refreshing. The cave is really pretty and a nice reward at the end of the hike. We always love when it feels like you made a discovery at the end of a hike and this was worth it. All in all probably a good 5 miles round trip but there are different way points. We weren’t rocking climbing down into the canyon so we parked, hiked down to river then up to the canyon. Worth it!
I am a big lover of Barton Creek Greenbelt in Austin, Tx. But this lovely Preserve got me even more. The amazing wildflowers, well maintained main trails (there is no way I was, ahem, trailblazing), various regions to explore were terrific. If you want fields of wildflowers? Check. Interesting paths with plaques of information regarding hill country flora and fauna? Check. An alternative to Hamilton pool? Check. An endless amount of trails for your mind to go “aaaaahhhh” and your feet to be very angry for a few days? Check. Rock climbing? Check. Good elevation hikes and gorgeous vistas? Check. The only downside was the amount of trails not on the map, but I like to venture out in no mans land anyway. The staff were incredibly helpful, even came around again to be sure I checked out the Kelly Prehn overlook to see the 10 story Cypress trees. It was a 70 minute drive to get there, completely worth it. I’ll be visiting again next week for Progue Canyon. ❤️
