Hey y’all! November is here, and what better way to kick off a new month than spending some time outside exploring one of South Austin's beautiful parks?!
Join Hike with Maddy ATX on Sunday, November 1, for a hike through Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park! This 300+ acre park is a hidden gem in South Austin, offering miles of trails winding through wooded areas, open meadows, and along Slaughter Creek.
