Hiking at Barton Creek




My family enjoys hiking when time permits. Now it is time to take Wilson, our new dog, on his first hiking trip. What better place to take him but Barton Creek? The first time we went on this hike was two years ago and we discovered this great swimming area for the kids. This time, we are well equipped with our bathing suits on hand. We took the short route to the swimming hole, a good 30 minute hike surrounded by lush vegetation, a site of cliff walls and waist high weeds. Finally, we walked down to the creek and spent a good 2 hours enjoying the warm water. With all the rain we have been getting, some areas of the creek were chest high. Speaking of rain, it will be a wet day again today.
