Photos from Brushy Creek Regional Trail on May 5th

A group of Colorado River Walkers met at the Twin Lakes YMCA in Cedar Park this morning and walked one of our club’s Cedar Park Year Round Events. We walked the 8k version of Loop 1 of the Brushy Creek Regional Trail walk. The first part of the route follows Brushy Creek, and the water was flowing due to the recent rains!

Doug Eide, Deb Peak and Stephanie Knight all took pictures along the trail on this wonderful walk, and we’re sharing a sampling of them. Above, Frank, Doug, and Deb are on the trail with the creek in the background.

We were also pleased to see so much water in the small waterfall along the route! You can see the waterfall in the background of this next picture. From left to right are Frank, Deb and Stephanie.
