Wild Basin Preserve

A waterfall in the middle of Austin? Actually we have several. One of my favorite places for a quick hike is Wild Basin Preserve on Loop 360. The short hike has you cross Bee Creek several times and leads to a small waterfall (see video below). Wild Basin also offers a number of interesting programs including a guided walk that introduces you to the preserves plants, animals and geology. Another program I want to attend soon is the Star Gazing program

Wild Basin Preserve is 227 acres of Texas Hill Country with 2 1/2 mile of Hiking Trails approximately 3 miles south of the Loop 360 bridge on the east side of the highway.

I love Star Gazing, but I'm not the Group outting tpe of person. Austin's city l;ights make Starwatching , well you know...

Are ther locations that you know of that give you some possibilities in sky watching that are fairly remote and somewhat people-free?

I know that sounds rather odd-the people-free thing, but as nature and my tudies are very personal and near and dear to my heart, I have to go with my
parameters for personal enjoyment with this sort of activity.

Any info, links, directions or help would be very appreciated.

Thanks so much
