This is a nice little trail system for a nice neighborhood by Austin. There are 3 trails. Panther Hollow Trail, Little Fern Trail, and Canyon Trail. I did all 3. Most of the aeg is on Canyon Trail. Creeks running, nice tree canopy, and a well groomed trail made this quite enjoyable. I also saw my first copperhead on the Canyon Trail. Nice outing!

Decent suburban hike around the outskirts of a high end neighborhood outside of Austin. Foliage was thick enough to make you feel like you were away from it all, but the buzzing of lawn mower engines along the nearby golf course reminded you otherwise.

This is surely a nice trail run training route for the locals.
