Lost Creek – Trail Map

Nov24

This is actually a trick – there is no trail map for this hike. However, I found a pretty good set of directions at this link.

You Google the Lost Creek Country Club and map out the directions
Find a spot to park on Bend of the River Drive just before it crosses Barton Creek
Look for the start of the trail just under the bridge
Hike a short distance to the big flat rock in the middle of the Creek
Quickly look for a convenient spot to ford Barton Creek
Pick up the dirt trail on the other side
Follow this sandy, tree covered trail for about a mile until you run into the waterfalls on Lost Creek

Canyonlands – Trail Map

Oct9

I returned to Lakeway again this evening to continue exploring the parks and trails here. The Canyonlands Park is a great place for roaming around. You follow the humming power lines into the canyon area, and then you hike around and get lost. It is a nice series of trails, so don’t tell too many people about our secret. 🙂

Hamilton Greenbelt – Trail Map

Oct2

The Hamilton Greenbelt in Lakeway is a pleasant place to hike. I went in maybe two miles, got turned around, and then followed the sun on the way back to the trailhead. I’m looking forward to exploring this area further.

Bandelier National Monument – Trail Map

Sep25

There are many trails at the Bandelier National Monument, but the trail that most visitors are here for is the 1.2 mile loop that takes you right through the historical Pueblo sites. It is so worth the trip!

Bull Creek District Park – Trail Map

Aug1

Today’s hot hike was launched from Bull Creek District Park in weather beyond 100 degrees Farenheit. I walked a short way along the Inga VanNynatten Memorial Trail, then plunged into Bull Creek and took it as far as the super hot day would allow. Along the way there were plenty of people and their dogs enjoying the cool creek water.

Wild Basin – Trail Map

May20

Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve advertises that it has 2.5 miles of trails. I did the outside loop this evening and finished just before a heavy downpour. I trekked over to view the waterfall, then headed to take in the scenic views. Overall, a nice quick hike.

Mayfield Nature Preserve – Trail Map

May15

The Mayfield Nature Preserve is a great spot for some short trail hiking. It had been raining most of the day, but let up after work so I could take a quick hike.

St. Edwards Park – Trail Map

Apr3

I went hiking at St. Edwards Park off of Spicewood Springs Road after work today. It was just over two miles of hiking, with an initial hill climb of about 200 feet to the top of the ridge. This is a great park, and I could have hiked further – easily doubling that distance. I will definitely be back soon to explore more.

Great Hills Park – Trail Map

Feb20

I went out to Great Hills Park after work this evening expecting a short hike. It turned out to be a 2.7 mile exploration of the area, and I would have loved to ramble further if I hadn’t run out of daylight. The main trail goes up and down some hills and crosses the creek several times. This would be a great summertime hike, as the trails are mostly shaded by the surrounding trees. I will definitely return to explore some more!

Turkey Creek Trail – Trail Map

Jan29

After work today, I rushed over to Emma Long Metropolitan Park with the intention to complete the Turkey Creek Trail hike before it got too dark. I goofed around with my camera a little too much and completed my nearly 3 mile hike in the dark. It was a fun evening!
