There are many marked trails at St. Edwards Park, so they are
marked by color. This was helpful when
the crisscross you know to be able to stay on the correct on. I’ve wandered around here a bit, but wasn’t
sure if I’d done all the trails or not, so I figured I’d knock out the major
ones. The “Red Trail” went northward
from the park, and eventually paralleled Spicewood Springs Road. The stream (which was to my left) was Bull
Creek. There was a section of the trail
where you had to walk on the side of the road for about a 100 feet or so
(keeping in mind there ain’t shit for a shoulder on that road). After cross a private driveway, the Red Trail
continued a short distance more and just came to an end.
I came back down to where the last branch-off was (around the area
where it started paralleling the road), and went in the direction which would
take me away from the road. There were a
couple areas where I was able to get close to the water for some nice pictures,
although I think the panoramic shot I took of the cliffs didn’t turn out as
good because I was too close to them (and couldn’t back up much and still have
a clear frame).
Eventually I followed Bull Creek to where it went under Spicewood
Springs Road. I really wasn’t on the Red
Trail anymore, because I’d pretty much hit all of that. But in that area you can cross over to the
other side of the creek, and I did that so I could continue on some trails on
the other side. The small waterfall is
only a short distance from that crossover area, and it part of a wall which one
could use to over over the creek if they were sure-footed enough.
After that, I went for the elevated trails on the west side of the
park. I was a nice day so I could get a
shot of the treetops. Even the selfie I
took, with the camera angled down, really didn’t a sense of how high up I
was. Still it’s a great view.
