11 Best Hikes in Austin

"A 5.5 mile out-and-back route, this is one of the most challenging and rewarding hikes in the Austin area, with some serious elevation, and seriously impressive views across the picturesque riverfront park as a result. Not to mention a beautiful, hidden waterfall. The trail is very well signposted, with additional kiosks placed at each of the three trailheads, and one at the central Panther Junction. There are also well-positioned benches scattered throughout, in order to catch your breath while admiring the views, and you'll probably need them." - Veronica Meewes, Jonathan Thompson
