Hike River Place starting at Little Fern Trailhead
Details
This is a challenging canyon hike with lots of steps up & down. It is a great workout with scenic views of the Hill Country. The out & back is 5.7 miles, almost all shaded. We do it in roughly 2 hours 20 minutes & some of us bring weighted vests or a rucksack. We start at the Little Fern Trailhead which feeds into the Canyon Trail.
