Onion Creek Exploration Guided Hike

Details

TO REGISTER FOR THIS HIKE YOU MUST SIGN UP ON OUR EXTERNAL WEBSITE: www.austintexas.gov/wildlandevents

Difficulty: Rugged/elevation change
Distance: 6.5 miles – 6 hours
Location: In Driftwood off FM 967 near 1626. Directions sent upon registration at www.austintexas.gov/wildlandevents.

This hike is an exciting opportunity to be guided cross country over a portion of the Onion Creek property of the BCP's sister program, the Water Quality Protection Lands. This is our most rugged hike and covers about 6.5 miles. Experience restored native grasslands and towering oaks as you travel along Onion Creek, view recharge features and learn about the families that previously inhabited this land as you pass their historic home sites. This hike will proceed at a slower-moderate pace, does not always follow a trail, and requires hiking through tall grasses.

A few reminders about the conservation lands - there is no running water on site and pets and smoking are not permitted. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

No RSVP on meetup needed, you have to reserve your spot here: www.austintexas.gov/wildlandevents
