This is our second time on this trail. We've really enjoyed it both times.

There are quite a few creek crossings and the water was high enough that our corgi got his paws and undercarriage pretty wet. It was still very easy for us to stay out ot the water though.

We started at the playscape and hiked to the end of all the branches of the trail, which is really well marked, to get in a 3 mile hike.

The trail is very scenic at times with rock cliffs and tiny waterfalls in a few places. There were a lot of people at the playscape area and a few hikers on the trail, but overall it's pretty quiet out there in the middle of the suburbs.

another gem in austin

My friend and I have been running in neighborhoods and have started getting a tad bit bored so we decided to start running trails, instead. The west entrance off sierra was a bit rough. I am unsure if it is because it isn't used as often, but we could not find a path through the trees.. we tried to no avail and gave up went back the way we came. We only came across one lady and a dog off leash. A few small creeks to cross, but they were low enough we could walk the rocks.

A little to close to houses for our comfort, every-time we wandered a bit we would just run into someone's backyard. Would be cool if I lived right up the street but otherwise no.
