Barton Creek Greenbelt has scenic beauty in every season. This hike is for experienced hikers who already have very good conditioning and balance, and who enjoy trails with rocky, uneven terrain. If you like pushing your boundaries, join us. Bring water!



MONDAY and WEDNESDAY hikes have some hills, are about 2-2.5 hours at a brisk pace, 5-6 miles long, with a mid-hike break and pauses for scenery.



FRIDAY is for experienced hikers who already have done several longer distance, fast hikes, e.g., 8 miles in 3 hours or less. DO NOT sign up if you are not at this level, or have to be done early. We will hike 7-13 miles, distance limited by weather and amount of climbing, longer if these aren't present. Think of a hot, humid, hilly, 7 miles for 2.5 hours in August, or a cool, fast, 10 miles in October, 4+ hours counting lunch at Tacodeli and hiking back.



Please leave your dog(s) at home. ALL hikers must sign a liability release/waiver at the trailhead.



RSVP only if you will definitely attend. Attendance will be tracked, and habitual no-shows will be removed from future events.



We enjoy the peace of nature and chances to see wildlife, so leave loud voices at home.
