This 1.3-Mile Trail In Texas Leads To A Double Waterfall And A Crystal-Clear Creek
Next time you’re in the mood for chasing waterfalls, look no further than Texas’ Capital City. Tucked away in Austin’s Bull Creek District Park, the 1.3-mile Irving and Hazeline Memorial Trail is a short-and-sweet hike that leads to not one, but two breathtaking waterfalls. The falls spill into a crystal-clear creek, making for a scene that can only be described as picture-perfect.

With an elevation gain of just 72 feet, it's accessible to all ages and skill levels, so feel free to bring the whole family (leave your four-legged friends at home, though, as pets aren't allowed on the trail).

Lush, evergreen trees give way to a barren forest, keeping you on your toes with each additional step you take.

In the spring, for example, eye-popping wildflowers in every color imaginable can be spotted all along the trail, while fall brings the richest, most beautiful amber, golden, and deep red foliage you've ever seen.

It's actually quite nice to hear the chaotic sounds of city life slowly fade as you descend ever deeper into the forest. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation for nature and the bliss that only time spent alone in the woods can bring.

You'll see turtles, fish, and perhaps even a few snakes swimming to and fro in the water, serving as a gentle reminder that we share the great outdoors with so many other amazing creatures.

A double waterfall cascades down a series of rocks into the crystal-clear creek below, making for a picture-perfect scene.

That way, instead of a mere trickle, you'll be met by a powerful roar that will instantly leave you awestruck.

Close your eyes, perhaps even dipping your toes in the crisp, refreshing water, before heading back feeling more rejuvenated than ever.
