Location: Eagle Mountain Park - Fort Worth, TX
Distance: 8.3
Trails: All trails, some twice
Got up early on a Sunday morning to hit the trails. I arrived at my go-to park at 7:40 AM to a nearly empty parking lot. It was 35 degrees and overcast, so I figured that had something to do with the empty lot. When the temp is below 40, I am happy. I started on the north trails, just under 3 miles, and made my way to the south trails to round out the 8. I love walking along the lake, the waves are calming plus there was a nice mist rising into the cool air.
I don't have much to say about this place, other than I just really enjoy going here. The hills give me variety, and I challenged myself to run up the hills I encountered which proved to be rejuvenating. Walking through the fresh foliage reminded me that it is indeed spring, and also that hot weather is on the way back. New life in the forests helped me find peace and clear my head, so I highly recommend spring hikes for that purpose.
I hope you all have a great week ahead; happy trails!
