Austin Bluffs Open Space
Austin Bluffs Open Space has a variety of trails that are great for hiking or mountain biking. It connects in with pulpit rock if you want to get up to an overlook with great views. The best views from the main part of the open space are along the Austin Bluffs Main trail. The best named trail is the Angry Squirrel trail. If you see an angry squirrel, then its best to just leave it alone, I probably ran over its tail on my bike.
