Our apartment is located right next to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The greenbelt is a hike and bike trail that begins in Zilker Park next to the Barton Springs Pool. It features sheer cliff walls, lush vegetation, waterfalls and swimming holes. This year has been abnormally dry so a lot of the creek bed is dry and most of the swimming holes are nonexistent.
We enter the trail at the Spyglass Access which is about a mile south of the Zilker Access. By bike we can get downtown in 10-15 minutes without going on a road. The cool thing is that the Greenbelt trail connects to the Town Lake trail so you can pretty much get anywhere in Austin via the trail system.
