I didn't hike the whole trail, just some of it. It was very nice out today for a hike. Water at the falls is really going. The trail itself was nice, didn't see anyone on the trail. Just wish I hiked more of it. I basicly went from the old homestead around the trail and cut back across to the homestead again.
Nice quick hike that's easy to access

There is only one steep section, this is a very nice trail. When the paved trail forks, take the trail to the right - the trail to the left goes to a parking lot. There are a few water spigots along the way if you run out of water.
Nice short walk

There isn't much to see at the Rock Shelter, but there are lots of nice overlooks up high over Onion Creek, and the trail is very well shaded.
Nice hike for little ones

We had an 8 month old in a backpack carrier, so bushwhacking wasn't an option. This was a very nice hike for us with the little one along.
Lots of kids

My wife and I originally did this hike
when my son was old enough to be
pulled along in a wagon. Along the way
we saw many types of wildlife, including
large turtles in Onion Creek, and
two very large owls perched high
in the trees above us. The bluebonnet
spread was spectacular, and the butterflies
were numerous. On another trip, we found
a secluded portion of Onion Creek
that had large flattop rocks jutting from the light
rapids. We took of our shoes and waded through it.
It was quite a nice trip.
An easy hike

This paved path is a great loop for runners. Not a bad route for some easy bluebonnet viewing as well.
Best hike at McKinney Falls?

This may be the best McKinney Falls hike. It's got plenty of solitude and some nice scenery along the way. The southern boundary of the park appears to be city greenbelt space, so there should be no concerns there.
