CANYONLANDS HIKE TRAIL

ABOUT THE PLACE

This hike probably only deserved a 3 flag rating, but because it gets your pulse going with all the up's and down's I figured I'd give it a 4 flagger. This hike is less than 2 miles, and the first stretch of it kinda sucks. Luckily, however, it gets better and better as you go. I don't know if it's really worth driving all the way out to this place to do this hike unless you already live nearby, but if you want a good workout then this trail will do it for you.

The official city web site for this park has a trail map (which is a good idea to have with you!) and othe info.


HOW TO GET THERE

From 620 in Lakeway exit onto Lakeway Blvd. Follow Lakeway Blvd. through its turns until you reach Hills Drive. You should see a sign for the swim center or World of Tennis. Turn left onto Hills Drive and then turn right onto Trophy Drive. Look for the swim center on the right and park in the parking lot there. The trailhead is on the opposite side of the road.
