the hike would have been so much nicer if the flooding would not have been going on....went last Friday the 5th and alot of the trail was closed. But as AE was saying, spider webs rule this place and with the flooding the mosquitoes were plentiful and while it was really hot, the humidity was horrible. I will try again in a few weeks, the place is nice, solitude is great, scenery is great also. Also, watch for deer and other wildlife when driving into McKinney Roughs, 2 deer and a roadrunner were standing in the drive when I pulled-in, so be careful.

Don't know exactly why, but this hike sure seemed longer this day. My thoughts are because it was so humid it made it seem longer...but the hike is great and the solitude was also, even on a Saturday. Saw four people on the hike, stopped for a break and lunch and talked to a very nice person (Tom S. from San Antonio ) told him to check out the Austin Explorer...............I recommend the hike, but beware of the humidity in the area...ENJOY

In short, it's more difficult and longer ( time wise )than you think....but is a GREAT hike. After you get pass the primitive camp sites ( about the first 2 miles ) it was just me and a coyote, that ran across the trail about 300 ft. in front of me, the rest of the way. The solitude is grand, start early ( I did not )and you will not run into daylight problems and you will enjoy the hike all the more. Try it!
