Description

This trail is an official and maintained trail with adequate signage up to the Hackberry Spring turnoff. After the Hackberry Springs section of this hike (going counterclockwise), there is no signage and few trail markings. It is important to avoid hiking here when there is a risk of flash flooding.

Flora & Fauna

Some snakes, lizards, and a decent amount of wildflowers.
