The hike has less appeal than many in Austin. First, you start at a school. Second, the trail is messy with hanging vines etc that support no views near the beginning. Later you reach a fairly typical straight trail without vistas (after a rocky creek crossing). There are some pretty trees along this trail however, which I would count as the highlight of the whole hike. On the way back we crossed the creek at a different location and got somewhat lost. We had to backtrack and recross the creek to get back on the main trail. So there was a little adventure and room for exploring. One other plus, we saw no one else on the trail that day.
Good Neighborhood Hike

This hike has lots of trees and bending paths with elevation change. If you focus on the flora and fauna, e.g. butterflies, you can feel a little more isolation even though there is always a house in view.

Took my 6 & 8 y/o kids before school started. Very pretty and has a small lake at end of hike. There is also a neighborhood park at trailhead for kids to play at.
