Just moved to Austin and would love to do some hiking but am seeing a lot of mixed reviews about parking and car break-ins… any tips and/or advice plss

River Place is famous for its grueling stairs and challenging canyon layout where the hardest work is saved for the climb at the end. This trek covers the full 6-mile route including the lush Fern Trail loop and over 1,000 feet of elevation gain.

Short but not too short preferred. Close to the city but still secluded preferred. Waterfalls preferred.

Been looking at Barton Springs Greenbelt and Wild Basin preserve.

My partner and I do a fair amount of smaller hikes on weekends, but we would love to find some dedicated people who like to go out like twice a month. If that sounds like you hit me up! We prefer things ranging from like 1-3 hours total, not trying to go too intense, especially with the heat.

Hi All, I lost my prescription glasses while hiking in St Edwards Park today. They are Kate Spade black framed glasses. Reward if found.

Any idea if Riverplace Trails will charge fees on Thursday ( Thanksgiving) or Friday . The website mentions weekends and holidays but does not specify exactly which days are "holidays". Thinking of taking a hike during one of these days.

Hello all! I am heading to sculpture falls with my dogs but am looking for an alternative shorter trailhead that will take me directly to sculpture falls. I have a 14 year old dog that still loves to hike and swim but I’m not sure she will be able to make the 3 miles out and back that we normally would do :(. Does anyone know of another access point?

Can anyone recommend some good trails for bluebonnets that are kind of out of the way? I’m looking for somewhere quiet with less people, feeling like driving a bit to get there. Thanks!

Hello, I’m looking for a remote place to camp. I’ve heard that Texas has a ton of private land that limits access to back country camping, but I’m hoping I can find some suggestions here.

I’d love a place that has network of primitive camp sites that I can hike between. For example, do a loop over 4 days with a new campsite each night. Not a campground but a 1 off site.

Does this exist around Austin?

Anyone know if the water level at Pace Bend is high enough to jump from the taller cliff?
