Hiked a little over a mile and a half down the violet Creek Trail at the spyglass Trail entrance during my lunch break. It was very nice. Not too hot or humid today in Austin. The trail is covered with different types of trees and a rock canyon that goes up quite a way as you go further down the trail. The trail is well marked and has mile markers along the way. There are even houses at the top of the canyon. They are pretty cool to look at as you make your way down the trail. The trail does have quite a few hikers, including families and mountain bikers riding down the trail. I plan on coming back soon on my bike and ride quite a ways further than I hiked today to see where the trail goes. I would definitely recommend this is a really cool trail in Austin to get out to nature and enjoy the day. read more
