Things are blooming and growing at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I hiked through several different zones on the outside loop trail, and there was much to see and photograph along the way.

Doeskin Ranch – Trail Map
Today’s mission was to hike the outside loop at Doeskin Ranch . This hike is located in the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. It involves a short climb up a ridge and then be prepared for sunshine as there is not much tree cover for most of the trail. You will be rewarded with some beautiful Hill Country views!
