Go for a holiday stroll at nearby Pease Park with its stunning limestone bluffs, shaded trails, and a rich cultural history. An outdoor oasis in the heart of Austin, Pease Park provides opportunities for play at the southern end and an immersion in nature as you travel north along the trails.
Visit Austin recommends this list of urban hiking trails on it~ The Barton Creek Greenbelt boasts almost 13 miles of trails, and is one of the top-rated hiking spots in Texas. Barton Creek passes both Sculpture and Twin Falls (with steep cliffs that are great for climbing) and snakes through a dense forest. Or hike the leafy 10-mile Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake, which skirts along shimmering waters and has picturesque views of Austin’s skyline. Experience a lush hidden escape within the city limits at the quiet St. Edward's Park or the 227-acre Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, where you can hike through forested greenbelt trails (reservations required on weekends and holidays).
Texas Parks & Wildlife has a holiday calendar of events with outdoor activities at various parks across the lone star state.
