There are so many hiking trails in and around San Antonio, it is difficult to come up with a definitive list of the best.
Not only do city parks offer great hiking experiences, there are plenty in the South-Central Texas region that are worth a day trip.
Some offer unique experiences — think dinosaur footprints at Government Canyon and spectacular city skyline views at Comanche Lookout. Another park is known for its abandoned railroad tunnel that is home to up to 3 million Mexican free-tailed bats. At Blanco Sate Park, you can work up a sweat with a short hike and then cool off with a dip in the river.
