More Austin than San Antonio,
By lhb (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Including the Hill Country (Paperback)
Excellent book, very descriptive but there are more Austin trails than SA trails. Some of the trails in this book have become our faves and we would never have found them without the book.

Hiking in Austin,
This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Including the Hill Country (Paperback)
This is a good basic book for finding the public hiking trails that are on the beaten path. It is very useful to find what is publically available. It isn't for finding those paths that are hard to find.
I do recommend it.

Excellent Book,
This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin: Includes the Hill Country (Paperback)
I bought this book for my sister for Christmas because she had just recently moved to the Austin area. She loves the it and has already been on some of the hikes and says that the descriptions and information about each hiking trial is very helpful and having this book actually helps motivate you to get out there and do the hikes.
