Who We Are:

The Austin Regional Group of the Sierra Club is a volunteer organization of over 5000 members. We’ve been an integral part of the Austin scene since 1968.

Our goal is to ensure that the Austin area remains a healthy, vibrant, place to live. We believe that the health of the human world is inextricably linked to the health of the natural world, and we offer a wide variety of activities and volunteer opportunities to support our goal.

From the Sierra Club –

We’ll start out on the northern part of the Little Walnut Creek parkway that will eventually extend to Walnut Creek Park in north Austin and follow it up to the construction to see where the extension of the trail is going to be built. Then we’ll head back to the trail along the creek and with any luck, we’ll get to see a waterfall on our way to Duval Road. The trail leads to a tunnel under Duval and we’ll discuss the construction of Duval Road for flood control downstream. The hike will be about 4 miles and takes about 2 hours.

The trail is rocky and hilly leading down to a dry creek bed. The trail along the creek is at the base of a 25 foot cliff wall. Bring water and wear sturdy hiking shoes. It’s okay to bring a dog on a leash. THIS WILL BE AN EASY HIKE.

Join us for food and drink afterwards.

A small donation is appreciated to help with SC expenses. You can RSVP here.
