Entered at Tejas camp and hiked 2 miles to mile marker 9 then back. Lots of smaller paths up into the bluffs and others to the river. Nice scenery.
Great Hike with various terrain

Hiked the Pine Ridge trail, then connected to Cypress and finished with Bluff Trail. All trails offered great views. Only met 1 other hiker on the trails.

Great trail with beautiful scenery. Somewhat challenging with short uphill climb...but with noone else on the trail, I could simply take my time.
Best overlook in city limits.

The overlook mentioned on this page is one of the best I have found in the city, if not the best. I just so happened to stop by here on a day when migratory birds were coming through the region. The island that you see from the bluff is an oasis for birds of all kinds, and it is a regular breeding habitat for local cranes you might see up and down the town lake trail. Very strange to see this in the middle of the city; it looks out of place.
Otherwise this trail is in need of a lot of help. I wouldn't make this a day hike; at best it is a good extension on bike from the playing fields next to Longhorn Damn.
