I was so happy to find this trail at Cedar Ridge Preserve in Dallas, TX. I knew moving from Colorado to Texas that I'd be hiking in some different terrains, but was pleasantly surprised to find a trail here with some significant elevation changes!
It's still been rainy in the DFW area, so I decided to check out another paved trail in the area. Today's hike was at the Walnut Creek Linear Trail in Mansfield, TX. This trail follows the creek fairly closely for some nice views, and the trees provide plenty of shade!
First day hiking in Texas! I stuck close to home for a quick hike in between bursts of rain showers. This is a small park and doesn't take long to traverse the trail out and back.
The smoke is getting increasingly worse in our part of Colorado. If you are going hiking, be sure to be mindful if you have any respiratory issues, and take plenty of extra water for your throat!
Enjoying my favorite trail as much as I can before we leave Colorado!
Back out at Picture Rock Trail at Heil Valley Ranch in Lyons, CO, today.
To celebrate my 100th hike of 2020, I wanted to do something I hadn't yet accomplished, so today I finally did the entirety of the Bitterbrush Trail at Hall Ranch from the trailhead all the way to the top of the mountain where it meets with Antelope Trail. It was over two hours of hiking, but it was invigorating to climb "the rock garden" and to see some of the views of the ranch that I hadn't gotten to yet.
