Explore: Hiking & Swimming at Greenbelt
Details
Recently we had a meetup to hike up to Twin Fall Access which went really well. Out of request I decided to complete the other leg of the hike by heading northeast. So come join us for a day of swimming and hiking on:
Saturday, June 23rd, at 10:00 am at Barton Creek Greenbelt
With over 8 miles of lush trails, it has been regarded by many as one of Texas's top hiking spots. This path is used by mountain bikers/hikers/runners/rock-climbers alike and is primarily a dual-track. These trails are good for all skills levels and dogs are welcomed (though leash law is enforced by county law)

We will be meeting at the Greenbelt entrance (near the outhouse) off of 360 and Mopac (Loop 360 Access) which is in front of an office complex (see picture of the office below). At 10:15AM , we will hike north-east towards the Spyglass Access. Please try to arrive no later then 10:10 AM, otherwise you will need to try to catch up with us on the trails. I expect this hike to last about 3 - 4 hours.
