About this Event
Nestled on the banks of the Colorado River in Central Texas, Austin is known for its vibrant culture, live music, and the famous SXSW festival. But look beyond that and you’ll find dozens of creeks, hills, and trails. With 300 days of sunshine a year, an average temperature of 71 degrees, and thriving parks and green spaces, the city offers year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure—and Urban Trails: Austin is your lively guide to exploring it all. Longtime Austin resident and outdoor journalist Pam LeBlanc highlights 40 of the city’s top trails for walking, hiking, and running. From the serene paths that circle Lady Bird Lake to scenic routes through the surrounding Hill Country and Blackland Prairie, this guide captures the diversity of Austin’s trails.
Designed for locals and visitors alike, Urban Trails: Austin provides detailed descriptions of each recommended trail, including distance, difficulty, and the author’s insider tips. Whether you’re seeking a quick stroll, a challenging hike, or a scenic run, this guide offers the perfect trail for you to experience Austin’s outdoor beauty, history, and vibrant spirit.
