There is nothing better than hiking in the greenbelt. As you stroll through a tunnel of green, the birds keep you company, chirping from the highest treetops. You can do anything you want, walking your dog or biking over the roots that cross the trek.

If you’re looking for a longer adventure, head on down to the very bottom of the lush valley. There runs the river Barton Springs, meandering along in some parts, plunging down waterfalls in others. You can take a swim in paradise.

So if you’re ever in Austin, don’t miss the wonders of the green belt.
