Description
When it comes to great hiking trails in Texas, Austin is definitely one of the best places to visit.
On this half-day hiking adventure, we would like to take you on one of a number of fantastic trails. Each trail is unique in its own way, offering their own set of views and their own diverse experience. Furthermore, all of the trails are less than a 30 minute drive from downtown Austin!
We can take you to the River Place Nature Trail. This trail is between 5.5 and 6 miles long. It is very clear and impossible to get lost on, and is full of creeks and a waterfall. Another trail we can take you on is the Walnut Creek Trail. This trail is full of unmarked paths and many overlooks. It stretches for approximately 15 miles in a loop. We can take you on the Turkey Creek Trail, which is near the Emma Metropolitan Park and will take you right into nature. This trail is a brisk 2.8 mile loop.
Yet another option you can enjoy is the St. Edwards Park, which offers a very peaceful trek that is between 2 to 4 miles, depending on which trail you choose, the hill or creek. Finally, we can also take you hiking in the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, which offers a relatively high elevation. Thus giving you great views of the landscape, as well as Austin.
With so many great options to choose from, you can be sure you’re hiking experience near Austin will be a memorable one. To enjoy it for yourself, please send a request.

Will was great wise and fun to spend the day with.
Phillip
Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

All perfect
Amanda
Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
