There were the typical central Texas foliage of mountain juniper, live oaks, grasses and succulents.  I recommend wearing long pants because the trail was very narrow and I was frequently  brushed by the foliage.  The trail was not friendly for running; it was quite rocky most of the time with a few sections of smooth dirt.  It was VERY clean, I didn’t see any evidence of trash or vandalism (YAY!).  Personally, I am not a skilled enough mountain biker for the  trail I chose, but if you do bike it please take a buddy, this trail was rough, very narrow, and there were plenty of points where you could fall right of the side of the hill to the creek area.  I did see bike tread imprints along the way so bikers ride it.

There were a couple of sections where the trees cleared and I could see awesome, sweeping views of the hills and the creek.  See some of my pictures below.  I hiked until the trail segment ended at a street backing to an apartment complex.  I then turned around and headed back.  I tracked my path using Trailguru on my iPhone and in all I hiked almost 3 kilometers in 40 minutes and burned 330 calories according to my Polar monitor.

I had a great time out at the greenbelt and there are plenty of other trails within, so I will definitely return to report on another trail in the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
