You Never Know What You’ll See on the Trinity River

We see many interesting things during our hikes along the Trinity River.  It’s been a lifesaver to have access to so much natural area along the river trails for the dogs to explore, run, and help maintain fitness. We often see herons, hawks, turtles, jumping fish, snakes, gar fish, horses, spiders, and we’ve met several dog folks too.  

Jackie had her first horse and rider sighting tonight, and she was all ears.  She was interested to be sure, and she did a great job choosing to return her focus back to me. 

The trails are especially beautiful during sunset, and I’m looking forward to spending even more time out there as the fall weather continues to cool a bit. 

Some views from along the river in our neighborhood:

Pearls:

  • The Trinity River and its wilderness trails are a jewel
  • We’ve seen and met some interesting folks during our hikes 
  • Cooler fall weather is just around the corner, and we’re ready to enjoy it
