4.0 out of 5 stars
Good info and laid out well,
By JJ (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Hikes Near Austin and San Antonio (Best Hikes Near Series) (Paperback)
This book lists great info and it is laid out very well. Good maps, pictures and trail info. I especially like that it states canine capability info. I was a little disappointed at the lack of central, west Austin and hill country trails listed. Those looking for a more comprehensive guide might look elsewhere.

This review is from: Best Hikes Near Austin and San Antonio (Best Hikes Near Series) (Paperback)
This is a good book to get you started with hiking around this area. My timing for hikes was somewhat different and my grade of whether the hike was "easy" or not was a little different but everybody's different.
