San Marcos Take a Hike

Join us for an approximately 4.5 mile hike at Ringtail Ridge Natural Area, with Limestone link trail.
The parking lot can be hard to find so, please read the directions below if you haven’t been there before.
From downtown San Marcos, take Old Ranch Road 12 ( Moore St) toward Wimberly and proceed about a quarter mile past Craddock Ave. Turn right onto the one lane gravel road between the Dakota Ranch Apts at 1818 Old Ranch Road 12 and the Uhaul facility. The parking lot is at the end of the gravel lane.

Join us at Milton Reimer's Ranch Park to hike the Reimer's Canyon and River trail.

This is a loop hike roughly 5.3 miles long with an altitude gain of 344 feet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FIRST-TIMERS
Welcome! We're glad you're joining us on this hike and hope to see you on many more in the future, but a couple of things to keep in mind.

1. Please arrive about 5 minutes early for the hike. We do not wait more than a very few minutes for hikers to arrive.
2. If you change your mind or can't make it, please change your RSVP.
3. If you are an experienced hiker, this and all other trails in San Marcos are easy. However, if you are a novice hiker, you need to know that many San Marcos trails are extremely rocky. There are often elevation changes of 50 to 150 feet.
   We hike at a moderate pace of about 2.5 miles an hour in the woods and 3 on streets and sidewalks.
   If you have problems with balance or need to walk slowly, this hike probably is not for you. However, we encourage you to join us for our regular city and neighborhood walks.

Join us for a 3-4 mile hike in the Prospect Park Natural area and continuing into Lower Purgatory.
