St. Edwards Park “West Side” (Austin, TX) – September 2020

 I came back to St. Edwards Park the next day so I could explore the trails on the west side of Bull Creek.  A good portion of the trails on this side are going uphill without a lot of tree cover.  I didn’t take as many pictures on this trip, because most of the trails look similar.  I stuck to the parameter, and eventually came down in elevation back to the creek bed.  Sure it would’ve been easy to cross, but I was trying to do all the paths on this side (not what I’d done yesterday).

 I ended up having to do a 180, and went back up the steep stepped path.  From the bottom, I took a picture looking up, but it doesn’t capture the angle of this nor the elevation change.  I would’ve been nice to have a shot of someone standing at the top for size reference, but I wasn’t gonna take someone’s picture without their knowledge.  At any rate, when I climbed back to the top, I took another picture looking down, and it still didn’t capture the angle.

 After taking various side trails, I ended back on the ledge again.  In addition to some great shots of the treetops, I also took a selfie which had the correct angle.  The one I’m actually smiling in you can see the edge of the ledge (near my hand) and part of the path on the lower section below.  I think by then I’d crisscrossed enough of the trails that I covered everything here.
