Who’s ready for one of the hardest hikes in Central Texas! We’re heading back to River Place Nature Trail to hit the stairs.
This hike will challenge your stamina and endurance as we climb and descend on over 5400 stair steps-round trip.
Our beginning will be from the bottom of the trail and trek our way up to the top-around 3 miles. We'll take breaks along the way to enjoy the scenic views. From the top, we’ll rest and then make our way back down-equally challenging and wrap up with a picnic at the park across the street.
