Barton Creek Greenbelt (Spyglass Access), Barton Skyway and Spyglass Road
Tuesday, February 14th, Time: 9:00 AM
Cost: Free hike; $ for lunch at Tacodeli, 1500 Spyglass Road
Barton Creek Greenbelt is a very popular area 7.9 miles long and 809 acres large. With sheer cliff walls, lush vegetation and popular swimming areas, the Barton Creek greenbelt is truly a treasure, situated just minutes from downtown. When the water in the creek is running, it is a fantastic walk.
Our hike will be approximately 4.5 miles round trip. The trail starts off on a well maintained surface of crushed stone, but turns rocky and rough in parts (sturdy shoes recommended). We will first hike south to the Gus Fruh Wall and take in the beauty of the creek (hopefully) and cliffs along the way. Then we will head back north to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. We will use the facilities there and learn more about the geology of this area. We will then return to the Spyglass entrance and eat lunch at Austin’s famous Tacodeli.
Bring: lots of water, sunscreen and sturdy shoes with good traction.
RSVP with your name and contact number (cell preferred) to either Donna or Laurie:
