Balcones Canyonlands NWR - Warbler Vista An interpretive trail guide leads one to learn a bit about the native flora and fauna on this Travis County hike.

Lady Bird Lake Austin's signature hike and bike trail was recently renamed in honor of former first lady Lady Bird Johnson who had helped realize the trail's completion.

Lockhart State Park Small by state park standards, Lockhart still manages to provide a few enjoyable miles of trails picking their way around the park's signature golf course. Ants might not enjoy the trail as much as humans.

Northeast Metropolitan Park Stick with the southern half of the path and you'll be rewarded with a nice walking experience.Don't expect pure hiking and stay away from the northern half.

A nice waterfall over a dam. I could see a trail on the other side of the dam, but the water was flowing too much over the dam for me to cross without totally soaking my shoes and socks. Spicewood Valley Trail
