Runner Notes

This trail provides an easy trail run with a treat at the end!

Description

This paved trail is commonly used to get to Observation Tower to see the surrounding San Antonio area. Along the way, the trail intersects with Yucca Trail and Hillview Trail at two separate points. There are no water fill up stations, but there is a bathroom near the top point of the trail. I would caution folks with strollers and wheelchairs due to some of the steeper areas on the trail. The observation tower has about 30 steps to climb.
