11 Best Hikes in Austin
"The trailhead of this three-mile triangle in northwest Austin is engulfed with cacti, while each spring a carpet of wildflowers unfurls like nature’s welcome mat. A series of trails lead to and from scenic Bull Creek, offering ample swimming opportunities during the summer months. The park’s two most popular routes–Creek Trail and Hill Trail–offer completely different experiences: the former is a shady riverside stroll past flora, fauna and foaming waterfalls, while the latter is a steep ascent up the park’s towering limestone bluffs, to enjoy superb views down the twisting creek, and for miles beyond." - Veronica Meewes, Jonathan Thompson
