08 Aug Austin Addiction – The Greenbelt
Austin’s very own nature preserve is a great place to explore nature and join in on
numerous outdoor activities that Austonites enjoy. The greenbelt is miles and miles long stretching over 800 acres. We enjoy hiking along the running streams (when it’s not too hot out!). There are numerous swimming holes to check out with friends or your dog. The lush vegetation is truly beautiful to see and people come from all over Austin to walk through the terrain. We love snapping photos on top of the many cliffs; the views are breathtaking.
Hiking, biking, climbing and swimming are just a few of the options you have if you
need some outdoor exercise. But, there are also plenty of areas to relax as well. Pack a picnic and enjoy a day in the Greenbelt with your family!
We recommend entering from Loop 360, since the Zilker Park entrance can sometimes be crowded. There is a great parking lot that is rarely filled up off of 360. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes if you are hiking to the nearest swimming hole. They are farther than you think! Maybe you will run into us at the Greenbelt, it’s one of our favorite places to go in the summer. XO PG

Posted at 00:09h, 22 JanuaryDeborah, you are using a picture of a mountain biker at City Park in several spots on your site that was taken from my site without permission (always attributed as Barton Creek…) As someone who understands the value of design, I’m sure this was an oversight. Please add a link to http://www.austinbike.com if you are using this.

Posted at 04:51h, 12 MarchHi John. Our sincere apologies. Our intern at the time was SO excited about moving to Austin. and all the cool things to do, that I know it was a total oversight. We’ve added the photo credit and a like to your website. Thanks so much for letting us know! Best, Deborah
