The Hike: We'll follow the right bank of Brays Bayou as close as possible to its confluence with Buffalo Bayou, on the edge of the Ship Channel. The return crosses to the left bank on Forest Hill Blvd, just past Mason Park, to a turnaround on OST then back to the start.

The Trail: About 1/3 stream bank and 2/3 hike and bike trail. No shade.
