Hike
Trails in general
Hills are about 300 feet in elevation.
Some are steeper than others. The Baldy trail is the steepest. See the park trail map for details of length and difficultness of each trail.
Stay on the trails. There are cliffs that are dangerous.
Trail Etiquette
Leave only footsteps, take only memories.
Don't throw or dislodge rocks. There may be people below you. Be careful placing your feet. My sister lost her front tooth when a small rock dislodged from a hiker in front of her and rolled a few feet down into her face. Not a pleasant or affordable accident.
New trails
Where do we need established trails? Maybe not. Stay on the established trails and let nature recover.
Help re-establish the Blinn River Trail. Are you joining us for the Friends of Garner Trail Work Weekend?
Some of our Popular trails
Old Baldy
Crystal Cave
Crystal Cave
The top of Old Baldy has a view you will remember. It's one of the steeper trails, but young and old make it to the top all the time. Watch out for the edge! Take water, a walking stick, and your camera. Look for the Baldy trailhead to begin your climb.
Crystal Cave
Crystal Cave
Crystal Cave
Well, there not many crystals to be found, but it's an example of what might be found in the Hill Country. It is a dark and cool place to visit and take a seat. Please don't stink or mark it up. Leave only your footprints. Watch out for centipedes in the cave.
The Old Road
Crystal Cave
Wild Horse Creek Trail
Back in the sixties and before, this was the only way to enter and leave the park. There are two vistas to view from and lots of color to be found around the first week of December. After recent rains when the ground is muddy, this paved road is a frequent alternate route for the Friends of Garner hayrides.
