Bull Creek hike - High and Dry
Details
Located in the shadow of Capital of Texas Highway Loop 360, the Bull Creek greenbelt is a favorite hiking destination in northwest Austin. The greenbelt surrounds a segment of Bull Creek known for its scenery, containing natural springs, waterfalls, swimming holes, and towering limestone bluffs.
Today's hike will be 7 miles at a Moderately Brisk pace on a rugged trail. The High and Dry route makes a complete loop and avoids creek crossings and drama by utilizing neighborhood streets where needed. (Some hikers prefer to go straight across the creek. If so, wear shoes that can get wet or bring flip-flops for a quick change. Otherwise wear shoes with good traction.) Hikers should be able to climb 20 flights of stairs, make their way over a 4-foot tall boulder, and not have an irrational fear of heights. No pets please.
Often we go out for food and drink afterwards.
